  • Just The Best

    I’ve been a major Rush fan since the first time I heard Tom Sawyer in 1981. It’s wonderful to have a podcast put on by two down to earth guys who are as knowledgeable about the band as anyone, plus all the great guests they get! Fantastic show.

  • Thank you Steve and Gerry!

    Marvellous cast. Two great friends discussing their love of the greatest band of all time. The whole thing is just so wonderful, and they’ve introduced me to so many other things connected with Rush that I need to check out.

    I didn’t think I could love Rush any more than I did, but thanks to Steve and Gerry, I love them now more than ever.
