Customer Reviews
Very fun
Nick, Sheryl and periodically Michael are a fun and educational trio. Matt’s knowledge and enthusiasm for punk and post punk fills in blanks of my experience memories. Sheryl knows more Pete Townsend lore and Beatles technicalities, she should nam a kid after one of them! I do deep dives of so many bands while listening to the pods. I now have the entire Spirit catalog and even a few disco albums. A big thanks to their sponsor, Silver Platters for their support.
