Mostly love and two suggestions
I greatly enjoyed the podcast and hope it will be back in some form. The humor was great, and I enjoy the comparisons Hyden made to other artists and their discographies. His long-time rock scribe pedigree came through. Runtaugh was a great host as well, even if his “I always thought of it as ...” setups seemed disingenuous. The pair had great interplay. Steven’s Joe Walsh drawl imitation was a laugh-out-loud moment. The topics were great and enjoyed that they stretched to two and three episodes the rivalries that deserved it. My suggestions are these: Firstly, I hope both hosts take the interim before their inevitable and welcome comeback to delete filler words from their speech. The guys say “like” hundreds of times per episode. The CSN (& sometimes Y) episodes were the low point on this. It’s overwhelming and distracting and has to go. Find a public speaking resource online and try the suggestions. Secondly, ditch the casual cursing. I’m no prude and use such words when appropriate, but it seemed like the king effenheimers were being deployed more frequently and purposefully where they weren’t merited by the end of the run. Again, terrific concept, mostly well-executed, and bring it back ASAP!

So interesting, well researched and top production. Love that the hosts just get on with the topic and manage to be be amiable and witty without throughout resorting to “so, how was your week?” at the start.

Enjoyed listening to the podcast till they had to berate one of the topics for being a Trump supporter. I could care less about your political affiliation, if I wanted to hear about it I’d listen to any of the thousands of idiots out there who’s podcast is about that.

There’s nothing like grilling some sustenance, consuming a few IPAs, and listening to an episode of Rivals. I say this non-ironically. It’s like my bros if they knew all the rock star gossip. Would recommend.
