Lord, this man is unbearable. This is going to be harsh but.. unfunny, uninformed, self-indulgent, and annoying. Not even the greatness of these records could and some of the guests could overcome the host. So many better music pods out there (DISSECT, bandsplained, Broken record, one song…) before having to resort to this level of cringe to get your fix.

You know what Josh? You can have a chat about the weather with your friend and not put it out as a podcast.
How is that entertainment?

Canada4 months ago - Talk more about other things than the music-and they don’t play any of the music
The host is entertaining enough, but he and the guest(s) spend more time talking about other things such as their own careers and interests. Also they cannot play any of the music they’re discussing — it would be fun to hear some bits of songs as they describe them. But he does bring this classic music to the masses, and the humor is good.
