I’ve always enjoyed hearing the backstories of musicians and their music. These hosts do a great job sharing those stories and mixing in their own experiences and insights to add their own spin on the history of rock and pop music.
Really impressed with Blake and Scott’s musical knowledge, thirst and enthusiasm.
Essential listening, especially if it’s an artist you don’t know much (or anything) about, or a tale you’ve heard many times.
Fantastic research has been completed for outlandish topics for the listener to have an in-depth understanding to the wild and crazy stories that aren't usually told. One of the best podcasts I've come across, highly recommend
