What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Stumbled across this podcast after seeing Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets tour in Oakland (brilliant!), Guy and Gary mentioned it from the stage. I probably never would be aware of it if it wasn’t for that. So grateful to have found it! They’re both very interesting on their own, but where this podcast shines is the wonderful guests they have, and the unique perspective they offer because they are touring musicians themselves. it’s a great addition to my “gut reduction dog walking program!” I’d love to see an episode with David Gilmour. Keep them coming guys. I really appreciate what you’re doing.

Funnier than most comedy podcasts More informative than most historical podcasts. Rockonteurs is a delight

WildWoodComs · Nov 2023

My new favorite podcast is Rockonteurs. I've been listening for the past few weeks and I enjoy each episode as much if not more than the last. So far, my favorites have been with Shel Talmy, Hugh Padgham, Stewart Copeland, and, as of today, Noel Gallagher. Noel made me want to write songs today, and as an aspiring songwriter, I felt good about what he had to say. I like the chemistry you guys have together, and with your guests. I learn a lot every time I listen. Eventually I will get around to hearing every episode. Thanks for what you are doing, you are preserving a bit of crucial rock history with every show.
