  • One of the best!

    This is one of the best KISS podcasts out there and the FAQ website and message board are often really useful. Julian is an authoritative source with a slew of informative books to his name, and the panelists give varied perspectives—musicians, collectors, international fans, 70s era, 80s era….tons of episodes to do a deep dive into. If you love KISS you will love the podcast.

  • Fantastic Podcast packed with info!

    Julian, Ken, Lonnie, Mark and Daniel (and depending on the week, someone else may fill in for one of them) all have a ton of KISS knowledge and experiences, offering their unique insights into the Hottest Band in the World, KISS! Of course there’s always some entertaining banter back and forth between the hosts which keeps it fun and light. Always a great listen and definitely my favourite KISS Podcast!

  • Better than Three Sides

    Why does Three Sides of the Coin insult these guys? FAQ is far superior in every way.
