- Informative and hilarious
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.

United Kingdom2 months ago - Disappointing.
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.
Apple Podcasts1Mark P. J. SmithUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Tried - and failed
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.
Apple Podcasts1Dan J HardyUnited Kingdoma year ago - Great
Such a great podcast celebrating so many albums with some likeminded hosts!
