The Only Podcast that actually makes you feel there!

First of all ! So Cathartic and priority reflective podcast. So easy to laugh out loud with headphones in and just know THESE ARE MY PEOPLE! Beyond stoked and heavy thanks for all of this podcast. When I tell people there’s hope and actually good hearted people I specifically think and talk about this podcast! Deepest thanks!

Great podcast…except for the host!

This is a great podcast because there are so many amazing guests! It would be a perfect podcast….with the exception of Garza! You can tell garza fakes his way through the podcast with bands he isn’t really that into! Perfect example is from the Goatwhore episode! He brings up a connection between Texas and Louisiana….the only real reason is because of pantera! One band! He asked about the connection and the goatwhore dudes were like, “what are you talking about?!” He sounded like a 16 year old stoner kid interviewing a professional band!
It’s cool that you wanna get other extreme metal bands on your platform, but know what you’re talking about before the show starts Chris!

Rewrite my review, updated July 2023

The stories of Mr. and Mrs. Garza sounds so familiar and to similar to stories of my parents, also from Corpus Christi area. I’d like to do a Corpus-centric podcast with you… Culture, People, Language, Food and Music! Well noisy need to add a little bit… My July 2023 As I listen to interviews from Bleeding Through, August Burns Red - I get the sense Mr. Garza has a natural innate ability to connect, relate, empathize, encourage and get down to brass tacks. Meaningful conversations, not just q/a interviews.
