  • Quality podcast

    Don’t know how I stumbled upon this, but so glad I did! I’ve really enjoyed listening to informed chat about acts and albums I’ve enjoyed for years - in particular the Hot Snakes episode. And seeing as how there’s about a million episodes, I’ve plenty more to listen to and enjoy. I’m off to re listen to Godspeed now. Cheers lads & lassies.

  • Excellent listen

    The hosts are engaging and well informed yet it never feels clunky or contrived . A huge amount of musical inspiration ( or not depending on the subject ) to dig into … like or loathe the music chosen it’s always engaging . Definitely one of the best podcasts out there .
