Great podcast
Well done guys. For casual or serious music fans they dig into tree history, culture and quality of the music of a specific time. Fun listen.
Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend you had a great Podcast
I take long trips in the car and “When are we Now” is my new companion. So much happens in one episode! The tidbits you dig up in your research are top notch. The extras like the SNL host picks and the Frankenband are really fun. Well done fellas! U2 are great. I can’t stop listening so I am living after midnight. Also listened on my headphones while on a jog and I ran so far away. This makes me want to buy my first real six string .....
Everybody loves this podcast. Everybody.
Wooooot! Even my kids keep talking about it. I heard you will like this podcast. It may be true. Came for the logo, stayed for the Def Leppard.
