Come for the music and stay for the non-toxic masculinity on display as well as political hot-takes, beer and candy reviews, surprise weddings, honest mental health updates and unpaid Hamms product placement.

Growing up steeped in the stew that was 90’s Christian alternative music and the culture surrounding it, this pod caught my attention a couple years ago. I dabbled in a few episodes, but really became a Magnified Podder for Life with It’s Hard to Find a Podcast. (Pedro the Lion and Starflyer 59...Read full review »

Listening to this podcast is the closest to having actual friends I’ve ever been. Would recommend!
Eric The Rad via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/08/22
I love this podcast! Andrew and John are so fun and relatable. They talk about life in general and then really deep dive into the music of my formative years and the music I still listen to today! Seasons 2 and 4 have been my favourites so far! I look forward to many more!

Pop punk wasn’t really my thing, but I’m a sad bastard, and the bands they are talking about this season are for me. I appreciate the sharing of life and history for these guys because I’m on a similar journey to them and sometimes it gets lonely out here. They have some real insight into the...Read full review »

Sorry Mark, Tom, Travis, and Satan. God rules! 🆒🤘🏻

Easily the longest podcast I’ve ever listened to…and I enjoy every minute of it. I must admit at first I wasn’t sure I cared and considered skipping to the time stamp (which is very kind but apparently not obvious enough for some folks leaving reviews here) where they start reviewing the album...Read full review »

i just stopped listening to the Hangnail episode out of boredom. It started out with a quiz about things unrelated to the band, which felt like a waste of time. I’ve listened to other episodes, and generally they’re ok. But the hosts need to understand the editing process. Much of the content...Read full review »

I am not reading the text of the review right now. It is me, one of the hosts of Magnified Pod, talkjng to you, the listeners, on one of the episodes of our podcast. I would like to apologize for all of the bad things I said about Five Iron Frenzy's album "All the Hype". I do, in...Read full review »

This show takes me back 20+ years to an awesome time in my late teens/early twenties. These boys good!
mrweatherford via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/21
Have you ever been to a show and your in line for the show, or standing waiting for the next band to play and you hear those two dudes talking who know more about the band, then the band probably knows about themselves, well this podcast are those two guys. All kidding John and Andrew do an...Read full review »

Did you grow up in the Evangelical Christian Rock scene? Do you know all of the words to Big House by Audio Adrenaline and had 14 colors of WWJD braclets? Did you wear JNCOs and a ska band ringer? What in the world are you doing answering all of these questions? This is a written review. I...Read full review »

Potato Salad is Life. The Rest is Just Details. Magnified Pod is Truth. The Rest is Just Falsehoods. Penalty Box is Power. The Rest is Just Whimper. Newest Podcast Ever. The Rest is Just Never.
Snalapus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/24/21
So I can’t stand this band it’s by far the best worst band ever... I’ve listened to the new record over and a over and hate it every time.. Great job guys
Wilmerdong via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/21
So as someone who’s life was drastically changed when I started listening to Five Iron (for better or worse is yet to be seen), listening to this podcast isn’t that big of a stretch. Originally I was only going to listen to the episode where Andrew and John interview Reese Roper, but upon hearing...Read full review »

It was great to celebrate the new FIF release with these guys. Thanks for the the commentary. Especially learning about the Ginsberg reference it made me appreciate the song so much more. Top 3: 3-Supplies 2-wildcat 1-something I missed. But it changes every day. Great job!
Mr. Graybiel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/21
I’ve only listened to the album discussion episodes, all of which are great. Just stop trying to sing the songs and the guitar/drum parts. The listeners’ ears don’t deserve that.
Dan8723 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/21
Before I listened to Magnified Pod, I had no friends, no girlfriend, depression, and no life. These things haven’t changed, but the pod is pretty good. 5/7

A clear, dewy bead grew like a ripening plum on the cold aluminum shell. John ran his hand down the cool, smooth surface and let the moisture coat his fingertips. He found the top and grasped the tab, hooking his fingernail under the edge and prying it open. With a tug, a fizz, and a pop it...Read full review »

So as a band member of one of the bands they’ve covered (five iron frenzy, not mix pix) I can say they get us, maybe more than we get us. As a band member it’s almost like hanging with a psychiatrist or councilor. They’ve shed some light on what we’ve done in a fair way and in a loving way. They...Read full review »
Mizzicah via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/20
I’m inclined to say something snarky and witty here, but I can’t even pretend to hate these guys or anything about this podcast. Even their takes that I disagree with at times are entertaining, because I can have a conversation with my speakers and feel like I’m actually telling John & Andrew...Read full review »

If you’re searching for an adequate podcast featuring two satisfactory white dudes discussing one of the most notoriously tolerable ska bands comprised of acceptable musicians who penned some sufficient lyrics - then boy/girl do we have the show for you! The only reason I rate 5 starts is...Read full review »

Dudes! If there is 3 things I’ve learned in the last 2 and a half weeks discovering and binging your whole second season they are as follows: 1. I will excavate the world going out of my way to find me some cans of Hams whilst blasting Andrew’s straight slappin track 2. I will wholeheartedly...Read full review »

I put on makeup and do my hair into a fancy doo-wop hairstyle every time there is a new episode. I pour myself a box of Francia and bust out the flamin’ hot Cheetos. Once the cucumber scented candles are lit, and the Rosé Lavender bubble bath is drawn, I close my eyes, and make myself throw up...Read full review »

Many ska noobs think that third wave ska begins when Reel Big Fish and Bosstones are suddenly on the radio. But that isn’t true. Third wave begins when ska comes to America for the first time in the 1980s with bands like Bim Skala Bim and the Toasters. The third wave was first labeled the “third...Read full review »
DanielJosLeary via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/20
Love this podcast! Two great dudes bringing honest, down to earth conversations about religion, culture and music. Episodes may look like they’re a little on the long side, but it’s worth it to listen to the introductory chats along with the music discussion and they always tell you where the...Read full review »
aegranko via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/20/20
Honestly, I could listen to these two talk about anything. Come for the music, stay for the intersection of culture/religion/movies/candy/beer/ghost stories.
MarkHak via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/15/20
What can I say? This podcast is incredible. If you’re an MxPx or Five Iron Frenzy fan, you need to listen to this. 🤟
Ryker94 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/20
Have you ever thought "I desire a wealth of knowledge surrounding topics that will never come up in my day-to-day life, and absolutely no one will understand what I'm talking about?" If yes, Magnified Pod is the podcast for you. Settle in for an ep, because holy h*ck they are long...Read full review »
Ya_Bish_Mickey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/20
So they do a 3 hour podcast and only talk about Mxpx for only a small portion of it... Hard Pass.
5th fighter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/31/19
I love this podcast. It’s a great podcast. Everyone should give it a good listen. The conversations go all over so you never know what you’re gonna get.
CJ Funk via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/12/19
Finally a show that talks about real life and all things MxPx.

If you aren’t listening to this pod, you’re missing out on a fantastic community. I love these dudes!
uclapril via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/11/19
Entertaining to listen to with funny and interesting insight on a variety of topics! Also- good podcast voices. This is very important!!
TylerK612 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/04/19
WAY COOL!
Luis Chavez Jr. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/19
Uhh
These dudes really don’t like MxPx much. They love loving this Jfk that annoy MxPx but bash the stuff MxPx is proud of....
Gene Everett 187 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/18
The MxPx community has been needing a podcast and finally some hardcore fans like Andrew and John put one on. I think a track-by-track discussion of the band’s discography is the way to go and these guys know their MxPx and their lore. They also have found a cool niche in utilizing the band as...Read full review »
N. J. S. Polk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/18
Super interesting! I’m excited to get into each release. Been a fan since the age of 12 and I can definitely say they shaped a lot of my early artistic leanings. I even became a music journalist because of them. Stoked on the podcast, great job so far guys.
