A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
This informative podcast is nice and quick with no loss of quality facts. It’s low commitment because it’s usually only about 7 minutes long and if you get behind, it’s easy to catch up on. Plus, there are always more shows right behind them. Even the few longer podcasts, they go by fast.
In fact, the most recent show I heard was with Guy Pratt. What a great show! Good questions and Guy is always likable and entertaining. Also being a big Pink Floyd fan, there is rarely any missed Floyd details or events.
Keep them coming….although, I don’t know when the host sleeps.

This is a great podcast to travel back in time. Great trivia, awesome stories of little known events from classic rockstars themselves. Interesting Brit rock viewpoint with a silky smooth announcing voice. No other rock podcast comes close.

I absolutely love this podcast. It is informative, entertaining, and captivating. The production value is great, and I love all the different segments. I’m a big old school rock fan, so I know I will be listening to this one for a long time.
