Chris and Matt do an amazing job with this show. They have great guests, are very knowledgeable about all these songs, and I enjoy how many times, the discussion delves into other music as well. I'm addicted and look forward to the new episode each week!

I really enjoy listening to this podcast on my drive home from work! Matt and Chris really do their research on the one hit wonders of the past, and they seem like they have fun doing so. One Hit Thunder has introduced me to several new (old) bands and great songs I may have missed when they were more frequently played!

How many times have you wondered what happened to a band that had one smash hit or those people that recorded one song that will stick with you your whole life? Chris and Mat answer all of these questions and more in this fantastically researched and beautifully presented podcast. You laugh. You cry. It's better than 'Cats.' 💜🦄💜

The constant tangents on Punchline’s lack of success really makes the podcast difficult to listen to. Deviating from the subject matter to complain detracts from/stifles the fun and relaxed nature of the podcast. I do really think there’s some great discussion to be had. I’m a big fan of the Thomas Dolby and Jane Child episodes, and have binged the show many times. The hosts are extremely knowledgeable, intellectual and hilariously entertaining, but all of that is constantly overshadowed by Punchline-specific “whataboutism.” I wish I could give it more stars, but there have just been one too many episodes where the actual topic was abandoned in favor of ranting about why Chris’ band should be more successful, and it’s just extremely frustrating, especially for a podcast of this caliber. Frankly, it reeks of bitterness, envy, and misplaced animosity. I had so much hope for this podcast, but the constant whining about not being famous/successful enough feels akin to a little kid throwing a temper tantrum.
