  • Zappa

    Having just discovered this I’m burning through all the episodes of most interest to me (and there are many, even if I’ve had to be selective by necessity). I love that this started out as ‘independent’ and then was adopted as the ‘official’ podcast - the passion and diligence warranted it! My favourite album is You Are What You Is. Don’t have the means to ‘own’ the whole output but I can work on it! Love Zappa, he’s a genius. I’ll never smoke in pyjamas!

  • This is the best podcast you’ve never heard!

    If you don’t listen to every episode you are missing on some top quality entertainment. Scott Parker, Phil Surkis and Joe ”Vaultmeister” Travers explore Zappa world like a mad gang of sonically obsessed anthropologists. And did I mention the humor? It’s top notch weird.

    Great podcast on a most excellent, delicious release. Waka Theme has lyrics? News to me, after almost 30 years “on the bus” I should have known that, I learn something new every episode! Keep it up in 2023!
