Love the music discussed on the podcast and am always learning new fun facts from it, but also love Dan and Will’s camaraderie. These “they’re not funny” comments are clearly from sour members of the queer community — you can see a few have written similar reviews for similar podcasts.
The lack of knowledge & research is quite astounding from a podcast claiming to be track by track commentary. Plus, the constant use of the word ‘queer’ is tiresome & is still offensive to many. The biggest criticism is the repeated attempts at ‘comedy’; guys you’re just not funny. It’s cringe inducing. Tried 3 episodes, given up.
Podcast Track by Track was painfully overrated. For a show supposedly about music, the hosts showed remarkably little real insight, repeatedly missing the point and barely acknowledging the producers behind the records, who often contributed more than the people they chose to focus on. The forced, scripted ‘humour’ only made it worse. It felt smug, shallow, and amateurish all at once. Honestly, if this is what passed for music criticism, it’s no wonder the show got canned. Keep practicing.
2 uneducated unfunny queens do a podcast. Again!
P.S ‘Queer’ is a homophobic slur that hasn’t been universally reclaimed.
Such a great podcast celebrating so many albums with some likeminded hosts!

Track-by-track conversations about pop albums, pairing close listening with stories about the artists, songwriting, production, music videos, artwork and the cultural moment around each release. Dan Bull and Will Warren bring a shared enthusiasm for pop and a conversational style that mixes music commentary, personal memories, playful banter and chart or production details. The album choices range from major releases by artists such as Pet Shop Boys, Madonna, ABBA, Duran Duran and Kylie Minogue to newer records and less-discussed pop catalogue. Occasional interviews with songwriters and producers add a practitioner's perspective, while the regular format gives each album room to be considered song by song. A good fit for listeners who enjoy... more
