Punch Up The Jam - Podcast Rankings and reviews

New listener to the pod, but longtime appreciator of the Gregory Brothers YouTube channels. They are the perfect new hosts for this podcast and I’m loving it so far. The musical insights, the conversations with guests, and the quality of the punch ups—chef’s kiss. I really enjoy Evan and Andrew’s method for creating and recording the punch ups. It’s great to see how random tidbits from the conversations in the first half of the pod make it into the final song. Super fun, I look forward to it every week.

Brilliant music parody, hilarious and insightful musical commentary and history, with a little bit of music theory thrown in, this podcast is my favorite podcast but it’s also a university course, and a comedy show, and a really good dinner party where all your friends are getting along, riffing, and cracking jokes and the quiet guy just broke out a guitar and played a song that blew everyone away. Bravo, Pump up the Jam!

I listen to a lot of comedy podcasts, but this is the only one I can’t listen to at work because I’ll look like a fool absolutely busting up or trying so hard to contain laughter at my desk in my headphones.

This podcast rocks my socks off. And socks my rocks off! I listen to music in a whole new way now, feeling fully enabled to imagine better versions of the songs I hear. I have already kicked up a Chopin nocturn by adding a phat beat, and added a "wall of sound" to all my favorite acapella songs! Just kidding about that, but seriously, these punch-ups are great. And I learn a lot about music while listening to the show. These guys are very entertaining, they are clearly professional comedians and keep me laughing a lot.

used to be a patron on patreon to the miel/demi version of this show. absolutely excellent stuff. the solo miel version (and miel + chris) had a different vibe but was still really fun. when i saw this pop up in my pod feed i was hyped.

i shouldn’t have been; the new hosts are absolutely antithetical to my sense of humor. sorry! i am sure their humor is great for some people but it isn’t for me and it probably isn’t for most of the people who liked miel and demi. headgum’s choice to just pop an entirely tonally different show into the PUTJ feed is bizarre and confusing. let the gregs build their own audience, if they’re in this feed there should be at least some alignment with the show that came before them. this feels like a cheap attempt to zombify a beloved podcast for a handful of advertising dollars and i’m not here for it.

Updated update: wow those guys did more than one episode? Yikes…
Update: first new episode is underwhelming…Chris really might be one of the most enjoyable people. I know this pod isn’t what Demi or Miel wanted for themselves, but they were so good at it.
Original review: Oh wow, such a fun podcast to enjoy. Miel and Demi feel like old friends of yours after a couple of listens and they are so much fun to listen to!!!
