What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I grew up in Los Angeles in the ‘70s so it’s right up my alley. But even if I wasn’t a girl from Laurel Canyon, I’d still love this podcast. Brendan Smith is a wonderful host with an infectious enthusiasm!

KatieLad · Mar 2021

Incredibly entertaining blend of witty repartee, pan-format music knowledge, engaging guests, and undefinable Gen-X passion for the random things that keep life interesting. Smith is a skilled interviewer who brings the facts, laffs, and I did-not-know-to fans of kickass music that meant so much to the last generation to come of age in the pre-internet era. Smile while getting schooled!

Edlyred · Mar 2021

Brendan is as funny as he is smart. This pod is an incredible intersection of pop culture and rock history with a dash irreverence thrown in for good measure. A must listen!

Wiesedog · Sep 2020

Why do I dig this podcast? It’s easy, Brendan loves music. His energy is infectious. His guests bring their energy and even if you don’t care about the band,(which 2x happened to me) you still enjoy the pod. You always get something fresh from the pod. I like it so much I paid into the patreon. This podcast might be an example of someone doing what they love and never working a day in their life. Download a few and enjoy.
