  • SPIT IT OUT MAN

    The podcast is decent. Guests are cool. I just wish the host wouldn’t try to fit 20 words in a 5 word question. He starts to ask the question and then drags it out with “ums” “likes” “such as” etc.. maybe write down the question and just read it word for word. Or if you can’t form the question in your head just let the guest speak. Again, good content, just some quirks to work on. I’ll be listening.

  • One of the best if you love this scene

    Mason & Cullen are great together, they get the best guests and ask really good questions.

    Growing up in this Tooth and Nail/ Solid State/ Christian music scene is great to listen to the artists that I listen to and hearing about new bands to discover. Keep up the great work! Oh and keep working on getting Josh Scogin to come on 🤘

  • HM in name only

    Remember when HM interviewed secular bands and asked them hard hitting questions about Jesus and faith? These guys interview old Christian bands and talk about not believing anymore. Mason should let the interviewees and Cullen talk more as he isn’t the comedian he thinks he is.
