The fact that most Americans are too dumb to get the Hip. That’s just the way it is. The dichotomy of Americans if got it….they wouldn’t be as great.
Loving every episode of this podcast! Great idea to introduce two newbies to Canada’s greatest rock band (possibly the world’s), and Tim and Pete are on point. Be patient if you’re a hardcore hip fan - it takes the guys a while to warm up to our boys from Kingston, but once they do, the pod really takes off. Probably even going to the finale in Toronto on September 1st. Well done, jD. Great idea for a pod!
What a great time to release this podcast. I’ve listened to the Hip since I was in my teens. I really like this concept & JD is an excellent host. Cheers! Looking forward to the next one
I think JD is great. I loved the Fully Completely podcast (look it up!). A great community has built up around that podcast on social media, too. This one, however, is really grating on me. I loved the concept and let myself continue along for a good chunk of the journey, but I just can’t hear about how bad all my favorite Hip songs are anymore. The album Fully Completely as a “naked cash grab?” About half the songs on Day for Night are a problem in one way or another? It’s just not the positive... more
Living for this podcast right now! Absolutely incredible, I’m learning so much!
It’s great to hear these albums through new ears. The guys point out lyrics and structure I’ve never realized before and it’s slowing me to listen to these songs with new ears.
Love the concept!!!!!!! I’m popping my TH cherry too. About the same age at TL and always heard of them and would run into crazy fans in bars during th 80’-90’s expically being in the upper midwest (WI) but didn’t know much aboout them. Keep it up, I’m on board for the full hip to tragic ride.
I told time this and thought I’d share my POV

I enjoyed the first 2 episodes. My only concern is the short time each “newbie” gets to explore each album. Albums can grow on you with each listen spread over time. I worry they may end up being more critical than they would be if they let it marinate.
I love the concept. It will be interested to see how the guys opinions/way they view the band will evolve over the Hips discography.
Such a great idea for Hip fans looking for analysis and a fresh perspective on Canada’s favourite band. JD makes a great host and the two “Hip-virgins” know music and seem to be up to the task of giving each album a fair listen. Judging by their fairly positive review of the EP, I can’t wait to listen as they discover all of The Hip’s unplucked gems.
