  • Just what I’ve been waiting for

    I was so happy when they announced Eric was going to have a podcast. I have always loved the bits of info he shares that I never knew but are super interesting, and his humor is great. As a fellow Gen X-er, he covers all the music of my lifetime, from the 60s music my parents loved, my beloved 80s childhood tunes, 90s high school & college, & beyond. And Charles is a good co-host, as he is on TMZ Live. Except he doesn’t fight with Eric like he does with Harvey. Haha. Great podcast, guys - keep ... more
