    Pretty entertaining show. Good questions. Great topics. Lots of minutia. Some of phrases of one of the host that are very annoying that keeps popping up in the conversation «Let me ask you this?» «100%»

  • Thoughtful music discussions

    What a great find! Great conversations about hard rock/metal. Not a hot take/gossip type listen.

    However, the idea that Pearl Jam turned into a Neil Young tribute act is absurd and sort of lazy 🥱

    Like an old man talking to the TV(that dates me haha), I find myself talking back to this podcast—disagreeing rarely, and mostly nodding along. Great guests, great conversations, and Eric and Mark always bring out the best in people they interview—just like the guys I’ve always known to have solid taste in music and the reasoning and seasoned experience to back it up.
