What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Have been listening to this podcast for a little over a year and it is an absolute must for Weird Al die hearts. Matt and Matt dive into not only Weird Al’s entire discography but every tv appearance Al has ever made. Give it a listen, you won’t regret it.

I am along for the ride on this one. These two guys are the absolute AUTHORITIES on Al Yankovic, and I love their insight. Really looking forward to the episodes about “One More Minute”, “Dare To Be Stupid”, and “Like A Surgeon”!!! An episode for every track is a huge undertaking, but I know these guys will come through. Professionals and gentlemen in every aspect! I wish I could give it 6 stars. Can’t wait for Al himself to make an appearance!

Very interesting pod - gives a musician perspective that is appreciated by us non-talented fans

They go on tangents a lot, but at least it’s funny 9/10 would recommend to Al fans new and old
