  • A musical journey lol

    I love this podcast. I was a huge fan of U2 up until I discovered Shoegaze and Britpop in the 90s. I absolutely loved starting from the beginning with boy listening to 2 lovely and articulate people talk about the albums and the tours. It’s like they totally shared the feelings I felt listening to those albums up to AB when I was younger. I think they kinda lost me at POP when I didn’t really understand them anymore, and I was deep into bands, like Ride and Swervedriver

    Literally every other po... more

  • U2 the technical juggernauts

    Bill and Melody. You should really go see the “movie” at the Sphere. U2 is more than just the greatest musical group of the last 40 years, they are visual pioneers and still pushing the envelope. At this point if you’ve been a fan this long money doesn’t matter you need to see and hear everything they do. The movie isn’t without some glitches but it’s hard to tell they really aren’t there down on stage. I saw them twice at the Sphere live and now on “film”. This movie won’t translate to an... more

  • Enjoying content but…

    Appreciate both of your efforts in research and thoughtful discussion. But I find it a tough listen for what might seem like a trivial issue but it isn’t for my ears…filler words! So many ums….and uhs. If you edit it using AI, you can easily remove these words. I am a podcaster with my partner (unpaid and NOT professional) and he makes every effort to edit out the fillers, it really makes a huge difference. My two cents….keep up the great work!

  • Clear, informative, comprehensive

    Found this show when looking for some discussion of a particular U2 album that had passed me by at the time it was released.

    At the time I came across it, this show only had 5 ratings on Apple Podcasts and no written reviews. This did make me hesitate about giving it a go in all honesty, but I’m so glad I did.

    The episodes I listened to told me everything I wanted to know about the album. Clearly and warmly presented, and very well informed. The hosts have a genuine chemistry but are not tryin... more
