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?
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.
On the oldest Reading show… Did you just blow pan Steve cropper? THAT is who completed ‘Sitting On The Dick of the Bay’! 😂😂😂 Both men friends of my dad! Oh…okay! Yall swung around.
BTW…check Alexander O’Neals Christmas Album ‘My Gift to You”. Thank me later!
I was hopeful for this podcast but upon listening to one episode, I’m now turned off. Josh rambles, and meanders and does that Jack Black thing where he makes up words all the time. At least Jack stopped doing that bit, but Josh has full on embraced it. He also SINGS over the songs that he’s showcasing, often with wrong lyrics, so if you’re listening to the podcast to appreciate the music or learn from it, you won’t! I guess some people like him but come on…find a host less polarizing.
Always spams with ads for other shows so I had to unsubscribe and stop listening
