- Meghan B. ❤️ OTH
I’ve been a OHT listener for years now after discovering that one of my favorite band’s bassist had a music podcast. I love the nostalgic songs I’ve forgotten about, and enjoy the deep dives into artists and their work before and after the hit song came about. The hosts always have fun guests that are equally a treat, especially the competition draft episodes 😂, you won’t be disappointed! I never miss an episode!

Yet another music podcast by insipid, try-hard millennials who amaze themselves at how edgy they are. You can get this content from countless other shows minus the delusional leftist rants. Hard pass.
Apple Podcasts1Royalsfan83United States2 months ago - Great POVs
I love the way they cover each song from all angles. My favorite episode is the one on Mad World. Chris and Matt are the best. What a great camaraderie!
Apple Podcasts5dw-ashevilleUnited Statesa year ago - Rabbit Holes Everywhere
This is a great podcast. It deep dives into these one hit wonders to see how good they truly were. It also goes down many rabbit holes providing discussion on the climate of music and culture at the time of the songs. This provides great insight into why the song was popular in the first place. Chris F. is always funny and is not afraid to tell you how much he hates a song. Chris F. also proves he can talk about anything (for example see The Thong Song). I love this and am glad I discovere... more
Apple Podcasts5J-RodGUnited Statesa year ago - Insensitive (How to be…)
The episode on “Insensitive” by Jann Arden had me laughing out loud. I’ve listened to a ton of these now, usually with a goofy nostalgic smile, but the banter and the extra verse they wrote for the song…man. Well done.
They hate the MAGA/Trump movement (I do too), and they also seem to really hate Christians and conservatives (which is something I am), and occasionally go out of their way to revel in said hatred. I found the episode on why Hanson deserves their unmitigated fury and condemnation... more
