Love the White Stripes and lovin this show! Ryan’s a great host and I’m glad he’s taking the time to go song by song. Well-researched and good guests, it’s fun listening to someone who loves the Stripes as much as I do. Keep it up!! Can’t wait to hear Jack on the show!
Host Schaap does great job breaking these down one by one. (DONT stop breaking down…heh). Passion projects come and go, but HP2P takes us all down memory lane through media and sentiments not unearthed from my drug addled memory since the dawn of this cursed millennium. I have been, in all seriousness, reminded weekly of an innocent time when I believed this smallest of musical collectives truly was the only band that mattered. And maybe in some little room up there (heh…), it still is.

This show is good.
I heard about this podcast on Reddit and thought I would give it a listen. I have been into the White Stripes for a couple decades, but for new fans, I still think it is a worthwhile listen. Even if you aren’t interested in gold mines, oil wells, shipping, or real estate.
Great podcast about a band i liked first
