What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

If you are sick and tired of “Punk” podcasts that are little more than over-educated millennials awkwardly reading you the Buzzcocks’ Wikipedia entry, this is the antidote. Unpretentious, unfiltered commentary from participants, NOT spectators. More of this, please.

Mister PDX · May 2022

Funny and unlike the other hardcore pods, great awareness of the political underpinnings of records.

We strive to present a balanced view by showing a diverse range of reviews from Apple Podcasts.
