  • My favorite music podcast

    I’ve been listening to Justin and Dylan now for a few years, and this is easily my #1 most listened to podcast. Random picks from every tiny branch and deep root of punk. Honest opinions, not jerks, smart, and funny. Also, for $10 they’ll devote an episode to your favorite record. An incredible bargain.

  • I really don’t want to re-rewrite my review .

    I don’t listen to a lot of podcasts these days but wanted a punk one that was not interviews. Punk Lotto fits the bill. It’s refreshing to hear viewpoints on punk from people a decade or so younger than myself even if I don’t agree with their review. I’m somewhere in the 2019s now and will continue to listen if they keep churning them out.

    Update: 2021: I’ve made it to where the format has changed so I felt like I needed to redo my review. Having the guest pick the album has been a great forma... more

  • Hmm

    Awful Relationship of Command review. It’s not all about Cedric and Omar. Too narrow in your scope and one guy was just rambling on.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Horsebox by Leatherface with Chris MacDonald
Q: What made you choose Horsebox for us to talk about?
It's hard to be subjective when talking about what my favorite album from 2000 is because I am just emotionally, my heartstrings are attached to that album.
Horsebox by Leatherface with Chris MacDonald
Q: What for the listener, how would you describe this book?
I would say it's part travelogue, part unofficial biography, atypical biography, and maybe just some insight into a band that a lot of people love.
Magnified by Failure
Q: Do you have a history with the band Failure?
The guest shares they first listened to Failure around 2015 during the band's reunion, acknowledging their importance but admitting they didn't become a regular listener.
