Never too much Matthew Sweet

Love this show and their deep dive into Matthew Sweet and his amazing Girlfriend album is a must-listen. More detail than I had ever learned before and listening to a great conversation about this amazing album is why podcasting is so great. Even more amazing that this is from the National Review.

Very informative

As an avid music fan, this podcast really hits the spot. These guys are very knowledgeable and have terrific insights into what makes the particular artist they are reviewing great. These guys know their stuff and it doesn’t hurt that they are fellow conservatives to…. My kind of podcast!

This pod is MY EXACT STYLE

As an Xennial (born in 1981) who grew up w a BMG cd subscription before hosting my own college radio show, my musical “upbringing” tracks very very closely w Scot and Jeff…So every episode I find myself texting high school/college buddies to say check out THIS episode or that one (did we all have a “The Doors phase” in early high school 🤪). KORITFW, gents! Still holding out hope for an Uncle Tupelo mini-episode 🤞🏻
