“Almost every episodes exudes that these guys never had dates and possibly ate their own hair in High School. I heard the word jocks a million times describing a mean spirited band member. Obviously these guys were jealous and resented to popular athletic boys growing up and are now trying to...”Read full review »

“Only just discovered this, love their humourous and nuanced take on either side of each rivalry. The hosts have great chemistry, a very natural style of delivery, and have obviously put in a lot of research, and since there’s no tedious off topic chitchat I’ve found every episode both informative...”Read full review »

“What a great idea for a podcast and a welcome change from opinion politics and true crime. Too bad it hasn’t continued beyond these episodes. Both presenters are great together and present facts in a concise and humorous way. DEFINITELY worth a listen.”

“I love this show! It’s so refreshing to hear two pod hosts get straight to the point with a well researched, well paced show. No filler, no waiting around for them to stop trying to impress each other—just the story. You can tell they outline the eps. I don’t get the comment that says it’s corny...”Read full review »

“Corny and poorly researched.
It’s basically two dorks cracking each other up with bad jokes and puns.
Did I mention it was poorly researched and corny?”

“I was listening to the episode on The Beach Boys. I’m not sure why they are making jokes regarding Brian’s child abuse nor why they are discussing the importance of Mike Love’s hair. Music Rivals is an interesting topic, wish they stuck to the topic so I didn’t have to turn it off.”

“I’m so bummed the contract for this podcast wasn’t renewed — great idea, well executed, definitely should have lived on. In this case it certainly was not better to burn out than fade away. Would pay a Patreon fee for this. Bring it back!!!!”

“Listened to one episode and it was so lopsided, despite claiming to defend one side, both hosts were criticizing that side. Made it hard to take them seriously.”

“Big fan of Steven Hyden, and his other podcasts as well. Been finding that I’ve been laughing out loud at a few of Hydens quips per show.
Both have voices made for radio/podcasting. Very knowledgeable on their subjects.
Two thumbs up.”
