  • Love it!

    I have loved the Pumkpins since I discovered them over 25 years ago when I was in school in Ireland and trying to figure out life. I recently stumbled across this podcast and I really enjoy it. It is sometimes very nostalgic to revisit some of this music, but I love it. Great podcast, great hosts. Thanks for doing this for all us pumpkins fans out there.

    I love how they go in depth with the albums. This is a lot of fun. You two know way more than I thought even I did about the band. This is a trip down my childhood into my adulthood.
