The Jasta Show - Podcast Rankings and reviews

The Jasta Show is the one that really pulled me into the world of podcasts and I’ve been listening for many years now. The show has become essential for me. It allows me to feel connected to the world of heavy music in a way that I couldn’t otherwise. The guests they have are almost always figures that are super influential to me personally and frequently they nail the topics and questions I would want to ask. I want to just say thank you for what you do, and please keep it up!

I used to absolutely love the podcast. I found it when they were around episode 50, and went back and listened to every episode starting at 1. But the past couple years, it’s definitely gone meh. A ton of repetitive guests. I love Howard but i just skip over any Howard episode at this point. I definitely get that it’s hard to find new guests in such a narrow field.

Jasta has great conversations with some of the greatest musicians to ever play and also is super positive and encouraging. Can’t miss a show!

Hardcore/metal veteran Jasta cast a wide net and covers ton of bands/topics. Also has fun and engaging segments that keep each episode fresh.
Guest included up and coming hardcore bands,music industry icons,comedians,MMA fighters and everything in between. Don’t be an “impress me bro” and give the Jasta show a listen.

Many of the guests bring up really harmful false ideas such as covid denial and vaccine denial. It is very irresponsible for Jasta to broadcast this nonsense without pushing back on it at all. If Jasta is unable or unwilling to push back on the crazy conspiracies his guests rant about then he should not discuss these topics with them. Listening to people talk about baseless conspiracies without any skepticism is not being “open minded”. Don’t be so open minded that your brain falls out! Having the producer on the show adds nothing to the show, especially when he airs his misinformed political opinions by calling politicians he disagrees with fascists. I wish he would get back to just talking about music.

One of my favorite podcasts, been listening sicne the double digits however lately this podcast seems to be focused more on his Patreon supporters than any of his other listeners, including his Gas Digital subscribers. I'm sure this is great for the 15 people that subscribe to his patreon, but the episode quality have given in to his horrible attention span. "Bryan could you look this up" and by the time the producer does find the stuff he's already on another tangent. I wish it would go back to just him and another person recorded on the Zoom, but I feel like that ship has sailed. And much like another reviewer stated, he's going far to into the conspiracy realm at times. I've considered dropping this as a gas digital subscriber because there's not much there for me.
