What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’m an Acid Reign fan since Moshkinstein came out. When I heard about H’s podcast I was thrilled to get to know a little bit more about the force behind Acid Reign, all while laughing, hearing chats about Metal, and perhaps even Hitchcock reference or two. Talking Bollocks is a blast of a podcast (podblast?). H is a down to earth, likable host who I enjoy listening to, and I’m sure I’ll like chatting with him even more. 45 minutes until showtime! Get on board, cunts! Mother loves you.

GlengarryX · Oct 2017

Love this podcast! I've been a diehard thrash fan since the 80's and Howard "H" Smith, from U.K. Band Acid Reign, delivers down to earth interviews with artists and writers from the genre. Love his rants, especially when talking about American politics, patriotism, gun control, etc. As an American, it's refreshing to hear views I agree with, but seldom hear from other people in the States. Keep it up Howard! There are people out there, like myself, who appreciate what you do.
