It‘s a great podcast about the best dutch band ever. Eric Facon is a wonderful host, has he already shown to be a great Nits fan in the past when making a TRUCE Diary with the members or bringing together many artists to make the marvellous tribute album „ISNT NITS“. Highly recommended, really!

Eric Facon takes us through five decades of Nits history. Lots of great interviews, little known facts, real nerd stuff and the band is participating. It’s a wonderful documentary about one of rock’s best kept secrets. Interesting guest stars, fine music selection with lots of rarities and beautifully edited.

Apple Podcasts5punneGermany2 years ago - A fitting podcast for a wonderful band
This is such a fascinating and beautifully put together series. Even if you are not a fan of Nits (…and why not? ), this is a measured and thoughtful example of how to do a podcast about a band. I think it’s fitting that such a unique group of musicians should have a documentary that succeeds because of its grace and intelligence.
