Why is it good to listen?
The hosts, 阿九 (aa2 gau2), 艾力 (ngaai6 lik6) and 劉cow (lau4 cow), play a variety of songs – mostly Cantonese songs, but there’s also a mix of Mandarin, Japanese and English songs from time to time. They talk in a casual style and their speech is on the faster side. They use slang in their speech and very rarely, when they get a bit “aggressive”, they include some profanity in their speech. Listeners who’d like to have a good laugh and listening to songs will enjoy this show.

Description of the podcast:
The hosts of this podcast play songs by creating a different scenario in each episode. Scenarios include reflecting and echoing situations from life, remembering singers who have left and are forgotten by the music industry, songs from Western Countries, or just purely random choices from the hosts etc.
Although most of the songs played are Cantonese songs, Mandarin, Japanese and English songs are played from time to time. The hosts chat in between songs, sometimes they introduce the singers and the songs in their discussions, sometimes they just talk about anything random and they are funny. Songs are pretty much played back to back.
The whole series is casual and fun from which listeners can listen to a lot of Chinese songs.
Summary: This Cantonese podcast is recommended if you are a music lover.
