The Next Track
With 300+ episodes, The Next Track is a long-running, conversational podcast about how people listen to music today—not just music itself, but the formats, technology, habits, and culture surrounding it. It is hosted by Doug Adams and Kirk McElhearn, and it regularly examines the practical side of music listening: streaming versus downloads, analogue versus digital, audio hardware, Apple’s music ecosystem, iPod nostalgia, and ageing audio equipment.
