  • Great podcast.

    Figured I’d update my review to state that I’ve been listening since day one and only missed a handful of episodes due to not being a fan of who’s on the pod but I’ve learnt so much about what goes on behind the scenes of some of the biggest bands in the industry. Still outstanding after all these years and the Patreon has allows me to make real life friend as well as online ones too. It’s great going to shows and festivals and having people say hello from the Patreon.

  • The best in pod

    Fantastic podcast giving insights into the world of alternative music. Guests are always great and Sean is hilarious. Morgan’s puns are genuinely cringey but seems a top bloke

  • Amazing

    Love this podcast and busy catching up. Does wonders for your mental health as it brings a smile to your face each time. Being 42 , this delves deep into an era of music I adore. And it unashamedly reps numetal too as a non dirty word which is class. More Glassjaw. In fact Glassjaw all the time!
