  • Great platform for Wilco fans

    Without reservation, an appreciation of Wilco. But it is also informative, well produced, and entertaining. Host(s) gives personal perspectives, but entirely welcoming & inclusive. Not dogmatic, at all. Guests contribute to broader picture & ideas surrounding the band.

  • Jumped the shark

    First few episodes were excellent and totally about the band we all love. But once they started to layer their Christian beliefs on Wilco, a clearly agnostic band, they lost me. Isn’t Jeff Jewish? It became more about the hosts than the band.

    How can you call yourself a Wilco expert if you haven't been to a single Solid Sound where everything Wilco in music and art comes together. Hope to see you in North Adams this year!

  • Grateful for this podcast!

    I’m happy to have found this podcast since it’s all about my favorite band, and even when you think you know everything there is to know, surprise! There’s more! Todd seems to be a real fan who “gets” Wilco and is genuinely interested in what his guests have to say. The episode with super fan Paul Suwan in particular, was a revelation. Keep ‘em coming!

It's the strongest I think it's been since the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot era.
