I don't listen to a lot of podcasts, but this is one I can't miss. I got turned on to it by a friend sending me the first Chuck Ragan interview and I was hooked. I got deep into music listening to punk/hardcore/emo/indie and it's great to hear so many of those guests. What's really amazing are the ones that I've never heard of or paid much attention to. Probably my favorite was Eric Bazillian, just great interviews on both songs. My only complaint, and not enough to lose stars, is the Creed song that is still stuck in my head. Thanks for the great show.

I really like your show. I thought it was just me that likes these kind of details, and what it is that makes a song so tasty. Now I know I’m not crazy.
Awesome podcast for all music lovers!

I’ve never really been a podcast person, but being a fan of Chris DeMakes drew me towards this one. And I’m so glad because it’s EASILY one of my favorite things to listen to. The way Chris dissects the songs and pulls things out of them that most people would never even notice is just fascinating, and I love hearing the backstory on each song from the guests. Listening to episodes of some of my favorite ska and punk songs is great, but I also love the breakdowns of songs I haven’t thought about in ages from the 90s! All around great podcast that I always recommend to all my friends that love music.

I get really excited every week to hear what song is going to be broken down and what artist will be featured. Getting insight on all the amazing songs is a real treat and makes me like them even more. Maybe one day Chris could get David Knudson from Minus the Bear on the show to nerd out about guitars and pedals! Keep up the great work!
