Magnetic duo

Love this podcast! I’m hearing these songs in a whole new way. The back and forth between Ben & Sarah is fun and sweet and I appreciate their chemistry when walking us through each song. I look forward to try he on air “research”, the descriptive words, the “yeah of yeah” additional songs by other artists and of course, the rankings! Here’s to that good cornbread love!

Not bad

The hosts seem kinda dumb, but they’re usually funny & these are some of the best songs, so I GOTTA listen.

I’ve never heard of this album or band before, but these hosts get me so pumped for the music every single episode. They have such a relatable enthusiasm for music, and I thoroughly enjoy hearing them discuss it. Such a lovable, entertaining duo!
