What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

CJ starting a podcast is amazing. I am looking forward to hearing his stories from being in the greatest American band of all time and also his stories as a fan. He certainly has a perspective that nobody else does. The cohost, Matt Stocks, keeps the conversation moving but lets the discussion breathe. I love the decision to cover every album and every song. As an enormous Ramones fan myself, I look forward to hearing about the deep cuts and later albums. Best new podcast of 2026! I have joined the Patreon and look forward to the bonus material as well.
