I just keep cringing through it

“I love the Mountain Goats even though, in all other areas of my life, I almost only consume art by queer/women/trans/femme artists. John is none of these things (as far as I’m aware) yet I’m forever drawn to his lyricism. He’s like Ani Difranco for the immature melodramatic teen boy inside of me.
If I’m going to be honest, this podcast sounds like 2 intellectual dudes perpetually j*r*ing off in each other’s faces. I know. Rude and gross. Anyway, that’s the feeling I get from it.
Joseph Fink states some over-analyzed thought he has in the most articulate manner he can muster...John counters with a “weeeellll....” then blathers on and on about...something.
I get it. I’m intelligent, surrounded by brilliant people, insecure, and have ADHD. I can imagine being in a room with either of you and engaging in exactly the same way.
It just kind of feels like y’all don’t like talking to each other. Like, maybe you’re doing it because you just feel like you have to but not because you’re actually enjoying it? I don’t know, just a thought.
I’m sure you’re both lovely and I know you both create amazing art. And, as you’ll notice, my rating isn’t low and, yes, I will continue to listen and probably even keep prioritizing these episodes before other podcasts. I just felt like someone needed to say something.

“I love this podcast so much. It's like Song Exploder for the Mountain Goats, but so much more. I feel like I get to know John and Joseph and their creative processes each episode. The covers of the songs are also excellent.”Read full review »

“Everything you could want out of a Mountain Goats podcast. It just makes me wish they sold some of the older, harder to find albums on the Mountain Goats store. Right now I can only listen to Full Force Galesburg and Coroners Gambit on spotify.”

“This podcast is a must listen. Hearing John dive deep into 'All Hail West Texas' is simply amazing. The majority of the covers are great too; I particularly enjoyed Laura Jane Grace & Holy Sons.
It's a wonderful podcast about art, creating, and being a consumer of art. I'd...”Read full review »
