Customer Reviews
Just started listening
Found this pod after Joe was on SPY pod. Great in depth and insightful discussion of musicians and music. Lots of humor too. Both hosts Kristen and Joe are a great balance for each other. Burning through the back catalogue now.
Co-host Kristen ruins the show
*Caveat: I only recently started listening to this podcast, and have been cherry-picking episodes from the back-catalog.
Like the concept of the podcast, and Joe is great in his role as resident expert and ringleader. Additionally, most of the guests are very entertaining and add something to the conversation.
What I can’t understand is why Kristen is on the show. She has almost no understanding of music history (or music in general, for that matter), and seems to have no interest in doing research on the bands/artists that she will be commenting on. And she often stops the flow of the podcast because she won’t stop riffing on a comment she made that didn’t make any sense the first time she said it.
I intitially downloaded about 30 episodes, and have listened to half. The rest are getting deleted as soon as I finish this review.
Great show, glad it might be back!
I have been listening for years, and I enjoy hearing folks talk about music that I (in many cases) have a lot of nostalgia for. Joe’s knowledge base is great, and I appreciate his passion for it. Kristen is a great foil for him, and their interaction is fun.
