Customer Reviews
I CAN’T STOP LISTENING!!!
Production, information and entertainment all top notch!!!
Stick to the music.
I have listened to this usually entertaining podcast for more than a year, but the recent episode about COVID and concerts has turned me OFF. Co-host Tammy’s pseudo-medical advice is not only wrong, but deadly. You should apologize to your listeners for giving this bull a voice.
FANTASTIC Show… when the feed works
This show is very well-produced and the hosts work great together. They've done a show a week for almost 5.5 years as of January 2013, no repeats/reruns and no missed weeks even through hurricanes. I've learned a LOT of music trivia thanks to them. The only two 'cons' are that they often have trouble keeping their RSS feed functioning and will fall months behind on publishing them here. In those cases you either wait or you download them directly from their website. The other annoyance is that one of the hosts has a PhD in Communications or a related field and cannot accept admitting when he's wrong about a music fact. Seeing that this is a volunteer hobby for him and the show is free, I'm quite willing to accept such a character flaw.
