Looking for new music? Do this show. Try the Spaghetti western ep and the Zamrock episode. They are great.

Canada4 years ago I love the Highway Hifi podcast. These gents pick music related topics to discuss few other shows will even think about, let alone tackle. They do their research and come up with hugely entertaining and informative shows....still waiting for that Billy Joel special, gents........
Podchaser54 years agoSeehear- Music Nerd-ing Sans Snobbery
These guys are the cool wholesome music dads we all need in our lives. This podcast is a delightful deep dive into the weirder corners of music (e.g. the Waffle House jukebox), and you can tell they’re having a great time doing it!

United States5 years ago - My kind of podcast
From Jandek to Tolk-Rock, sham bands & Zamrock, they cover the cool, weird shirt that deserves attention. They also got the chops to give due props to the tops of the pops. Killers & cops, mop tops & butcher blocks. Highly recommended!
Apple Podcasts5Sandy GoodnightUnited States5 years ago - Great music history pod
Joe and Ryan do a great job digging deep into vinyl culture and music history.
Apple Podcasts5LaLaLarissa83United States7 years ago - Best non-pro music podcast
Record collectors who love the stories behind obscure records and labels will love this pod. If you ever hung out or worked in a record store or were way into college radio, you will feel right at home with Ryan and Joe.
It would be awesome to spend a night at one of their houses listening to records. This is the next best thing.
Apple Podcasts5ThathhgvvUnited States7 years ago - Like hanging out in a great record store
Take this one-question quiz to find out if you'll adore this podcast as much as I do:
1. Were you ever a college freshman who loved to hang out in the cool college record store, particularly in the pre-internet or early internet age, when discovering new music was hard?'
If you answered yes, then yes, you'll love Highway Hi-Fi. Listening to it makes me feel like I'm a 19-year-old hanging out at Cheapo Discs in Boulder, filled with a sense of awe and excitement at the vast world of music to be ... more
Apple Podcasts5Lux CarpathicaUnited States7 years ago - Highway Hi-Fi is awesome
If you are into music trivia, awesome stories and good tunes, then this is the podcast for you. Joe and Ryan bring their encyclopedic knowledge and passion for music to each episode. A fun podcast for both music nerds and casual fans.
Apple Podcasts5T LitmanUnited States7 years ago - My new favorite podcast!
Ryan and Joe's podcast feels like you're hanging out with your cool friends with impeccible music taste. They have a reliable format with a theme where they focus on a particular topic, play some records from their personal collection that they love (and explain why), and have a quiz that is challenging but not obscure. I am able to play the quiz along at home and always get some of the answers right. Ryan and Joe have a comfortable and friendly dynamic which comes across well in the show. Recor... more
