  • Living an a-ha adventure tale

    Love your podcast so much! Thank you for taking the time to put it all together and for sharing your thoughts and feelings so freely. Having been a fan in the 80s and then re-ignited as fan in later years, I am enjoying living an a-ha adventure tale through this podcast. Thank you

  • Always hunting …

    Relatively new to this podcast but enjoying it! I always appreciate those who appreciate a-ha. I’ll keep listening —and I’ll look for you on Facebook. If you’re on Bluesky, follow me @billcanacci

    For the record, my favorite Magne song on his new album is “you won (and then some).” Just love the beat and his voice. I would not put “Teo’s Theme” last. And I will share your Lennon/Beatles references with my brother — a huge fan of the Fab 4.

  • Fantastic a-ha Podcast

    These guys are so knowledgeable about the band and are excellent to listen to. I’ve been a fan of a-ha from the early days (older sister a huge fan in the 80’s) and I’ve come back to them again more recently and enjoyed more of their later years music. I had tended to ignore most songs after East of the Sun West of the Moon… criminal I know!

    I was interested that many of my personal favourites were also at the top of their incredibly critical but balanced list. There were some songs that I w... more

  • They’ve done it again!

    Yet another brilliant episode from the guys. As an avid a-ha (and Morten Harket) fan, this episode was a revelation. I’ve been a fan of all of Morten’s English language output, but this episode has introduced me some of his Norwegian music which I’ve, perhaps unfairly, overlooked in the past. So thanks to this list I can now go back and explore some hidden Jim’s...sorry GEMS 😂
