  • Mostly Great!

    The best is when Jared, Tony and Todd are on together, with Rob Chaffe also great. One of the most enjoyable guitar related podcasts anywhere. Todd gets cringeworthy when inexplicably shaming his good natured co-hosts or blowing smoke up guests skirts. He too can sometimes run episodes as if they were infomercials instead of keeping it real. But even with those annoyances I rarely miss an episode. More Jared!!

  • Great guests, endless personal chatter

    It’s cool the hosts like hearing about each other’s musical week but good god I wish they would say in the description when they actually start interviewing their often-fascinating guests so it’d be easy to skip through strangers catching up with each other.

  • Podcast perfection

    I’ve listened to a lot of guitar / gear podcasts and this one is my favorite. There’s a good mix of banter and actual gear related content. The featured guests are always good if not awesome. This show is a must for gearheads.
