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.
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!
Love this show, discovered Punch Up the Jam when they came on If I Were You with Jake and Amir in February, which is funny because the first ever Jake and Amir I watches was when the Gregory Brothers appeared on it 11 years ago with Jake and Amir Autotune the news. “I want you to poke my status” is still funny. Anyways, this podcast slaps due to the in depth analysis of some of our favorites or more obscure hits that we all know but know nothing about. I’ve shared trivia I’ve learned from the show and it’s made for great conversations. Favorite episodes are Jake’s and Amir’s obvs. then Manic Monday, Get Around, Imagine. You won’t be disappointed if you enjoy music, comedy and wit.
Started the pod with Demi and Miel, lost touch, came back to new hosts! Andrew and Evan are terrific! They are funny, interesting and engaging. Happy the concept for the pod is alive and well; keep on!!
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!!!
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.
