It’s the same stuff every month with this podcast. Hardlore has lost its charm.
Rip and Bo’s a douche.
I hated this show until I listened to the variety of content. Now, I’m here to give high praise. Loved the Professor Bo history lesson. I need one of those quarterly. The variety of content keeps this show entertaining and engaging. Collin should have just been a comedian.
Finally, PRO-PAIN is the best metal/hardcore band name.
Could listen to Colin’s voice foreverrr!!!
This is my favorite podcast. I love learning about new music and new things about older music. Bo and Colin have great personalities and make every episode fun, informative, and interesting. I have found my people
