  • The Van Halen podcast accepts no subs

    I’ve been listening to Dave & Dave since the beginning. Not only is this the best Van Halen podcast but it is the most informative.

    Their format is very long but it can be broken into 3 clear segments. News, letters, and main subject.

    I occasionally have a few disagreements about some of their opinions but they are very respectful to their listeners.

    One of these days I am going to write them a letter.

    Keep the flame alive guys.
