What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is by far my favorite podcast I’ve ever listened to. As a musician in a band myself with big aspirations this podcast does a great job of talking very plainly about the industry and what it’s like to be in a successful band. It also of course lets someone like me who was raised by this scene get a backstage view of what these bands went through to make some of the most iconic records in my life. My only complaints are there’s not enough episodes and I really wish you guys would do a section to highlight new artists in the scene. With how overwhelming it can be to find new artists and music in the age of the internet I think you guys have the perfect platform to find undiscovered artists and give them a shout out. And I’m talking small new artists because the social media algorithms already push the bands already on the upswing. Regardless though this pod is the best and I’m so glad I found it. Thank you guys for making work less boring and continuing to support the scene.

to prepare for going to when we were young this year, i decided to learn about the bands playing that i didn't know, by listening to every album being played at the festival. this podcast has been a huge help in my journey, giving me a look into what the scene was like at the time each album was released and some context and culture that i was missing, plus interviews with people related to the albums. i may not have agreed with every opinion they had, but this isn't a review podcast; it's (mostly true) facts and a retrospective, rather than just looking at if they like each album (and a ps to morgan and tj- you do have female listeners!)

CD Burners is currently one of my favorite podcasts! I love the unique approach to not doing a track track retro review of the albums, but rather hopping in a time machine and exploring what life and the scene were like during the time of these albums, creation and releases. I appreciate the fresh insight. The guys are able to get from their interviews also! Great show and great dudes!
