The Eddie Trunk Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’ve listened to Eddie for years when my work schedule allows. He is truly a joy to listen to. His enthusiasm for music reminds me of a younger me before life took away some of my ability to get giddy over a great song. I love the fact that he doesn’t stray from what he loves to be more “inclusive” of genres that don’t interest him. He never demeans other music but just says it’s not for him and stays away from politics! Thanks so much for that! Listening to banter about his travels or weekend activities is also refreshing. Such a break from all the crap that’s out there. I hope he does his thing at least until I’m taking a dirt nap.

The interviews are sometimes pretty good, but the constant name dropping, claims that this musician is my best friend, that guy flew me out because he loves me, etc gets a bit tiresome. It’s like he is always trying to convince himself and the musician that he is interviewing, that he is justified and belongs there. If that kind of thing bugs you, you probably won’t enjoy this podcast. It’s a shame, too, because he does interview some interesting people.

I love questions he asks in his interviews🤘🏻Max Norman was awesome 💪🏻 Oi Oi Oi of Crazy Train trivia! It was beautiful ✊🏻He’s a fan more than a radio personality, the Qs he asks are exactly things I wanna know about that artist or about that period of time. Just listen to his interviews man, he asks about Van Halen, Kiss, Ozzy, UFO,… like fan from some one who he thinks may know about them for example. I salute you Eddie, you don’t need my thanks 🙏🏻 but THANK YOU for what you’re doing 🤘🏻 Sorry for my bad English, it’s not my mother tongue. Big fan from Iran 🙇🏻‍♂️ P.S: he just asked KK about “heavy metal parking lot”!😯! he’s a pure fan of hard rock/heavy metal! Phenomenal 💪🏻

Unlike a certain show I leave nameless who crow are The Podcast Kings when they are The Podcast Chumps, Eddie Trunk is the real deal. Since discovering him via VH1 Classic he is a real rock music historian and not afraid to call it like he sees it. Eddie is very well schooled on Metal and Hard Rock and interviewed many Rock legends and is not afraid to ask the hard questions that many are too afraid to ask. Love the show Eddie and keep flying the flag for Rock and Metal.

Used to be my go to podcast for years but it has become stale, same guests same old stories, Eddie claiming he “tells it like it is” yet does nothing but tell everyone he loves their last album and it might be their best in years! It’d be much better if he had a conversation with the guests instead of a chronological rundown of their discography or other things that we can all look up in Wikipedia. Eddie is the stories that people want to hear!!
