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.

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
Will never no support this great podcast 🙏
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!
Morgan and myself do a cracking job of keeping this nonsense going every week. We’ve had some amazing guests and some of the most interesting stories on the podcast.
Thanks to listeners new and old.
Appreciate you.
