Thanks for putting out such a great show. The amount of research is mind-boggling, and the presentation is so enjoyable. I can listen to the shows more than a few times, which makes it a classic in my book.
Great show on a great artist.
The best researched, most balanced, best delivered (Christian speaks professionally, without stammering like a guy who hasn’t collected his thoughts), most articulate, open minded rock music podcast out there. I like to think that I’m pretty well-read in the history of the Rock era, but I always learned something. This is your rock ‘n’ roll encyclopedia.
The Rise and Fall of Prog Rock was an excellent Sunday Morning companion. Love this podcast!
This podcast reminds me of my favorite college professor who taught history. I was entranced with every lesson because he obviously loved what he was doing and made me love it too.
Listening to Rock and Roll Archeology is a reminder that THIS is how history should be relayed: by an expert who tells the stories of rock and roll as if he had been there. Bravo to this excellent production. I constantly look forward to the next installment. Endless thanks to all who are involved!
