What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Captivating interviews about good music by a great dude. Must listen for any punk rock fan. Nostalgia for days.

JLear1 · Feb 2022

This show is an outstanding look at the late 90s and early 00s scene, a time when music was blowing up and new genres were emerging constantly. Mike does a great job looking at how it all connects with bands and the industry, but also takes the time to talk to lesser known bands that were important to the scene as a whole. Great show, listen regularly.

newcasey · Oct 2021

Mike does a fantastic job interviewing a variety of people in the punk scene. Even not knowing all of the bands, it’s quite entertaining. It oozes genuine enthusiasm for music. Well done!

mkrunsurf56 · Jan 2021

For anyone from the northeast/a fan of the 90s-00s punk or pop punk scene. Really some great interviews with some different folks who kicked around the scene. After you listen to several episodes, you can start to piece the different pieces of the web together—all interconnected by and through the scene. The Punk world is a small place. A great listen.
