Love it

I love this podcast. I often disagree. I yell at it while listening. But I always have a great time.
FullMontiBuffaloHC

Brilliant

These guys are great. Such niche/obscure content but they make it so entertaining. New favorite podcast!
Rickmac97

Excellent

Roasting amateur typography 30 years later is always a good time! Cheers
JuicerX

Super detailed !!

Enjoy the episodes I’ve heard so far and one was on one of my bands. It was a little weird because they basically doxxed our band members lol, but overall appreciate the attention to detail, appreciation for the record, and honesty on the record. Thanks !
Robot BLACK

Best

TBH I’d probably just listen to these dudes talk about anything but old hardcore records and tacos are ace.
drizup

woo

One of my favorite podcasts

Mike and Scot’s knowledgeable of obscure punk/hardcore, hilarious sense of humor and graphic design expertise makes this podcast as educational as it is entertaining. Keep it up!
@jantzenwashere

I miss you.

Please come back, Kings!

My god, it’s full of chalupas

There is no greater satisfaction than listening to these two monsters of pod digging through crates and chasing dollar menu items.
Max Caldwell

I disagree about chalupas but that’s ok

If nothing else you guys deserve a five star review for exposing me to the vhs camcorder rip of the 1990 Taco Bell. Also you should watch the Coil music video Loves Secret Domain if you haven’t seen it because it’s incredible
Burningtime

Listen...

There are people in this world operating behind the scenes. Sometimes there's even people BEHIND those people, lurking further into the shadows. The hidden hand turning the gears. No matter how deep you look, how far you dig, how many layers you scratch away, you are never going to get to the real heart of it. But don't give up.
Mike Dikk

Finally a podcast for me

I love this podcast mostly because I won a contest to get to be the new cohost.
