    Metal Dave and Jason do a fantastic job with this podcast. This is absolutely my favorite music podcast. Big fan of the Toys and was lucky to see them several times.

    I would love for you all to interview Salty Dog. I know Jason was a fan of this band. Michael Hannon would be a great interview. No complaints here and keep up the excellent work!!!

  • Great Listen!

    I’m really enjoying listening to Dave and Jason talk rock. Both bring a unique perspective that would interest any rock enthusiast....from the common fan all the way up to the veteran rock musician. Great insights, facts, and personal experiences that you won’t here anywhere else. I’m just getting started, but I’m going to listen to every episode!
