  • Liking this Podcast

    Ran across this podcast looking for rock podcasts and saw posts on Handsome Dick Manitoba. Big fan of the Dictators. Did't even realize HDM was still doing music. Used to follw his podcast when it was around. Well, this podcast led me to HDM's site. Bought a t-shirt but the last CD is sold out. Need to get it somewhere else. Anyway, doing a deep dive of R&R Geekn show now.

  • I need my Rock n Roll Geek show

    Been listening to Michael Butler for years now and he is always entertaining. If you love Unscripted rock and roll banter with historical RnR knowledge , a mix of home life, sounds of a fresh cold can of Tecate opening and the sigh of relief, then the RnRG show is for you.
