I am new to this podcast and had no idea how much I was needing this type of conversation in my life. Steven and Ian are genuinely great guys with a particularly adroit knowledge and passion for music. This is sincerely enjoyable and fun listening. Their commentary is genuine, honest and lacks pretension. You’ll leave every episode having learned something and most importantly discover a new album you were not aware of.

These two are great music writers, so it’s not surprising they’re great podcasters as well.

Fantastic weekly rundown of the indie musicsphere with two top-tier writers and critics whom I’ve been reading and listening to for years now. We’re lucky to have them, folks!

Kind of annoying, drink every time they say “artist of that ilk” they love to classify subgenres whether you’re into it or not.

I look forward to listening to this first thing every Friday morning. It reminds me of the music geek conversations I used to have with friends. The guys have enough difference and convergence of opinion to make the show engaging rather than annoying. I appreciate the weekly music picks, too! I have discovered several new bands from them that aren’t getting love from other music sites and pods, especially Ian, who leans more into emo and hardcore. Definitely check out Hyden’s books, too. They are enjoyable and clever. Maybe less on sports, though.

There is an absolute dearth of good music podcasts for folks of a certain age. I keep coming back to this one and am repeatedly disappointed by the mainstream weathervane opinions of the hosts.

I love this podcast. Have been listening every week since it started. Great chemistry between Ian and Steven. The show is entertaining and informative. Only downer is that they never read my emails about Indie Groove (Goose, Garcia Peoples, etc). They are the best live shows out there!

His opinions are not well-formed or interesting.

Their dedication to a Robbie arobertson and propping up HIS side of the story is disgusting. #Justice4Levon

On the last few, a good chunk devoted to fantasy albums and their ratings. It just doesn’t translate to something compelling to listen to. Especially when a lot of the content is repeated. Otherwise, appreciate your commentary
