I may be biased as I love ska music in all its manifestations and have been a guest on the show, but Matt and RJ do a great job and bringing out the best of their guests, and the ska news and ska picks are worth it alone. Always finding new bands!
Love listening to this podcast.. always “upbeat” and fun with great guest, interesting interviews and a great place to learn about new SKA bands … keep it up
Matt and Aaron have created an AWESOME (or dare I say SKA-some) show for all the ska fans out there. It’s great to hear comprehensive discussions centered around this fun and lighthearted genre as well as commentary on ska / punk culture past and present. If you are interested in ska, you won’t find many guys more dialed into the genre than these guys.
I was turned onto this show by a friend of mine and I can’t thank her enough!
Matt and Aaron, then Matt and RJ do a great job of exposing listeners to musicians new and old. Segments like pick of the week and ska around the world bring listeners new music weekly, and the guys do a great job of brining bands on to the show to share and talk about their music.
What I like about the podcast is that the hosts really make the show feel intimate. You feel like you’re in the room talking about ska ... more
This podCast is so fun and interesting because the two hosts represent opinions and experiences both as a member of a Ska band, as well as a very well-researched fan of Ska Music. You get to hear these topics from both the perspective of a band member as well as the perspective of a fan. It is informative and well planned-out, while also being fun and causal - a nice balance. It’s also great to be introduced to new Ska music from all over the world.
