“Your breakdown of this song and the reveal of what probably is behind the text was most thoughtful and answered questions I had about it based on the questionable uses I've seen.
Is it religious? Well I believe in the fluidity of the Presence of the Creator and his presence in the mesh of...”Read full review »

“I love love love your twenty one pilots breakdowns! They’re my favorites! Also thanks for being glad to have an open discussion. It’s amazing. Also I love that you play the song as you talk about the lyrics and I’d love longer podcasts (from the Hallelujah episode!) Keep it up man!”

“I just happened to hear an old episode in July about FTP’s Sit Next to Me. One of my favorite bands of all time so I was interested to hear his take on the song. Am I crazy or did he get the lyrics wrong in a couple spots? I believe the line is symptoms of the culture (not cloture) and you wanna...”Read full review »

“I was a 13 year old boy and just beginning to self identify as gay when this song first hit the charts in 1975. From the very first time I heard it as a teenager I knew it was meaningful. Much deeper than I could decipher at the time. I was drawn to this song somehow. I searched high and low to...”Read full review »

“I am definitely a TØP fan, and b/c of that I found Clifford's website and YouTube channel, which lead me here. So many of the things that he points out about these songs (and about other artists as well) are true things that may be overlooked without listening closely. Definitely my fav podcast”Read full review »
