Far from a flop!

I’m a little late to the party, but thrilled to find this podcast. The three boys have a tangible passion for music and their choices are always interesting. Love the catty yet affectionate dynamic between them, far from being a flop.

Banger of a Podcast!

Stuart, Sean, and Joe!

You are the most ! Not only is the content hilarious and educational, it’s full of total gems like “close brackets” and “banger” to name a few. I love that you’ve resurrected flops like “Let her Down Easy” and “Let the River Run” and turned them into hits. You bring the social to my anti-social WFM days. Thank you so much! Love from the US.
