Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 74 ratings
  • These hosts are very passionate, knowledgeable and often thorough when it comes to covering the amazing Weird Al's creative output. Even the tangents have you learn something. I look forward to them getting cool new guests as well. Personally I'm not that invested in the later ranking portion of the show (to the point where I wish they'd talk about the actual song content longer instead), but some listeners might find the ongoing developments of the various ranked lists to be interesting.
