As a former 2nd violinist/violist in high school and civic symphonies, I thoroughly enjoy your podcast. While in school, I had to learn (and promptly forgot) some of the information you cover in a MUCH more engaging manner than any textbook. Had your podcast been available way back in the day, I think much more of it would've stuck. You even make the operatic music (my least favorite) entertaining. Brilliant!

Surprised how much I enjoyed "Shadow of Doubt". Thanks for making me aware of it. Not so much on the German rap.
