  • Politics

    Love the show, always have interesting topics, the reason I listen to guitar pods is to escape from the BS in the world. It'll be great if we could talk music and leave the politics out. Other than that rock on!!

  • Thanks

    I believe I’ve listened to every episode going back to when Mark was the host. Through the years it’s stayed thoroughly entertaining. Joe and Matt have great chemistry and I enjoy the guest hosting from Philip, JD, Blake et al. Kinda miss Naomi. Thanks nerds.

  • The Boss cast

    This is a really mixed bag. Two of the presenters talk almost exclusively about Boss products and Neural DSP. It appears that they know Boss products very well (because one works for Boss and the other gets a good deal on those products) and so you will hear Boss pedals mentioned as a reference product in almost every conversation. This rapidly gets boring. They recently introduced a new presenter from Europe (German?) who has a different persepctive on a lot of things that is refreshing. Howeve... more
