  • One of the best shows on the platform

    Going on 7 years of listening, this show is the main reason I have Apple Podcasts downloaded to my device. Todd is a pretty knowledgeable cohost. But I gotta tell you, when that Lena Morgan starts talking, I slam the brakes, put my phone down, hush the conversation, stop everything and listen. One of the most knowledgeable hosts I’ve heard on any music program, and hilarious! Great show.

  • Love Todd dislike the cohost

    Love Todd work and have been since I was a teenager. His cohost his such a pretentious and smug. She is such a hipster while having such a normie music taste. None of her pretension is earned imo.

    Don’t listen to what Reddit says, they’re the opinion of people who don’t listen to the podcast anyway.

  • Came for Todd, stayed for Lina

    my only complaint (complaint about Todd's content in general) is that they don't give a lot of background. i'm not super into music like our hosts so it'd be appreciated

    also personally i love the "thespian, equestrian, singer? we're gonna give it to him." every week
