I love the back and forth between the two hosts. They have an in depth knowledge of so many things; it’s amazing!
I’ve enjoyed listening to the show, especially the 90s hip hop and Destiny’s Child episodes. The song selection process is thoughtful and well-explained. Deremy and Thomas do their research, acknowledge their biases, and come up with essential lists that make sense. Now…Beyonce’s list? We need to talk before that happens ;-). Great listen!
Very well thought out essentials lists for lots of cool topics. Highly recommend.
Fun and entertaining. Hosts cover a wide variety of topics and they have a great chemistry together. Fun time to sit back an listen along with them. Added to my weekly download rotation.
Like the show and the idea of essential things for pop culture!! Keep up the good work!!
