  • Pretty Great

    I’ve been binging this podcast for about 2 months and am getting near current episodes. I gotta say, my anticipation for upcoming albums (Rubber Soul onward) has me genuinely excited. Keep up the good work yall.

  • Not perfect, but really good.

    Some of the factual content could be more thoroughly researched, but as a classical musician, Kenyon speaks my language and I like his musical analyses.

  • Nearly unlistenable

    This used to be a fun podcast. But Peter has become insufferable. I don’t know what’s worse, the word salad he spews during the impressions segment, his childish persona during the story time portion or his grating sycophancy when there’s a guest. In short: He adds nothing to the episodes. I think I see now why their band broke up. Just let Kenyon do the show by himself.
