What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Love the main show, and also really enjoying the Friday night treats, please keep them going. I have “discovered” so many great tracks and artists thanks to y’all.

misfitmanic · May 2025

It sorta doesn’t matter I don’t know a lot of the bands these guys talk about, because I love to hear them talk. Great personalities and have opened me up to the hardcore scene. Keep up the good work.

Mikey Top · Jan 2022

Love tuning in every week. Bob, Tom, and Patrick’s hardcore (and general music) knowledge is mind blowing at times— just straight up encyclopedias. Love the dynamic they have. Anthony (Podioslave Podcast)

90sNYHC84 · Nov 2021

I’ve been on this Amtrak since, I dunno, maybe day 3, but very early on. And what a great ride it’s been. I think I’m probably not alone in saying this pod helped reinvigorate my love for hardcore, and more importantly, it keeps me up-to-date and excited for new music. There’s no real format, just Pat, Bob, and Tom talking about hardcore. Even if you’re not interested in the subject matter, a lot of the time they’re just shooting the shoot about random whatevers. IMHO, I like it best when they are focused on a topic and go hard, whether it’s taking about a certain year in hardcore, going through a band’s discography, or breaking down a subgenre. So, if you like super nerdy hardcore talk, it’s here. If you like listening to dudes just talk, that’s also here. Certainly worth listening to either way.
