Barenaked ABCs (Alphabetical Barenaked [Ladies] Catalog) is a weekly podcast where four New Englanders discuss the Barenaked Ladies catalog alphabetically, one song at a time, making certain to take time on the rare tracks, such as the Yellow Tape and Buck Naked, all the way to their newest tunes, including from "In Flight". We try to infuse humor with education about the band and examination of t... more

  • I Love This Podcast!

    I’ve downloaded this podcast since the beginning but never made time to listen to it until now. I’ve finished 33 episodes and love the in depth discussions, Aaron’s breakdowns, and the thoughts on the lyrics are fun to listen to.

  • Lack of research?

    So, I clicked on this because I’m a BNL fan. Only to find out the podcast is by two guys who know nothing about the band and then start by insulting the first song from the get go? I don’t see what this brings to the table.

  • Podcast by knowledgeable fans

    Audio mixing could be of better quality and I wish they had gone through the songs in chronological order instead of alphabetical order but this is a good time for a BNL fan

  • Not so good, so far

    Poor sound quality and juvenile humor/giggling throughout the show. I’m hoping this show, ultimately, becomes a fun and insightful podcast, but so far it is a chore to listen through a whole episode (which is not a good sign, 7 episodes into it). I’ll give it a few more to see what happens.

    UPDATE: Yeah, I’m out!!

  • False Advertising

    I was expecting this show to be about four nudists talking about the history of the alphabet. As an aspiring nudist, myself, I was deeply intrigued. What I got, instead, was a show about four non-nudists talking about all of the Barenaked Ladies songs in alphabetical order. Oh well. The show is pretty good, at least. 5-stars. Would listen again.
