What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Steve, you need to get a better microphone or stop screaming during your podcasts. Or maybe add a windscreen to your mic. The distortion from your voice makes me cringe. All your guests sound fine. Until you correct this, I have to unsubscribe to protect my eardrums.

tjb764 · Aug 2019

I have been relying on Steve's Beatles information for years. Years ago, he had a website Abbeyrd's Beatle info and he is usually spot on with news and the go-to source that I trust.
