  • 75% Rambling, 25% on Topic

    The podcasts were decent but far too much off-topic rambling on this. I listened to hear an interview about specific pedal brands, and this 1.5 hour show could have easily been 20 minutes long.

  • Great show!

    Love the banter. The dude who doesn’t want to listen to strangers talking is missing the point of podcasts. Lots of interesting things are revealed in the unscripted conversations. Rock’n’roll, keep chatting.

  • Mostly Great!

    The best is when Jared, Tony and Todd are on together, with Rob Chaffe also great. One of the most enjoyable guitar related podcasts anywhere. Todd gets cringeworthy when inexplicably shaming his good natured co-hosts or blowing smoke up guests skirts. He too can sometimes run episodes as if they were infomercials instead of keeping it real. But even with those annoyances I rarely miss an episode. More Jared!!
