  • Holy cow! I listened to one episode because it was on one of my all-time favorite bands badfinger and it was just disgraceful ... The host knew nothing about the band. Read a Wikipedia blurb about them... Regurgitated everything his (knowledgeable) 24-year-old badfinger expert guest had to say), was completely incapable of coming up with one single interesting question or observation for his guest. ... WORST...HOST... EVER...
