I love listening to these guys discuss the music we all love. They have a lot of live music and listening experience. Keep it up guys! The KISS mentions are always appreciated.
Great discussion, and discovering both music of the now and music of the past.
Hosts are fun to listen to. Highly Recommend.
Steven and Pooni are great hosts,they don’t try to be too funny or do impressions like some other pods. It is just straight forward rock goodness. It is my number one podcast to listen to!!
This show talks about music in my “wheel house.” The hosts are so different which makes the show interesting and I like that they always have fun facts. There’s no unnecessary dialogue. Give them a try.
Great show! It doesn’t take long to realize these guys know what they’re talking about when it comes to music!
