Second to None!
Three sides is consistently one of the top two or three KISS podcasts available. The topics are creative and the hosts’ knowledge is second to none! I look forward to every episode. Thanks!

Too much grandstanding,
This use to be a go to KISS show, but they’ve been going downhill for a while now. The hosts often interrupt guests when they are being interviewed. They do get some good guest though. Maybe not as much as they use to but some good one from time to time. Too much grandstanding by the hosts as well, it gets tiresome very quickly. And the female co-host. I feel bad for her. What she has to put up with every time she is on, is borderline abuse! Older or original is. It better,
Interesting Discussions
As a person who enjoys more modern rock music, I can still follow along and agree or disagree with conversations and different aspects of the show. I love most interviews and I think they are worth a listen
