    My favorite music podcast
    I’ve been listening to Justin and Dylan now for a few years, and this is easily my #1 most listened to podcast. Random picks from every tiny branch and deep root of punk. Honest opinions, not jerks, smart, and funny. Also, for $10 they’ll devote an episode to your favorite record. An incredible bargain.

    Fun Stuff
    Punk Lotto Pod is a great music podcast with a great concept. The hosts are a couple of really good guys and cover some fun and interesting material. Subscribe to their Pattern because they have some cool exclusive content over there. GO LISTEN NOW!

    I really don’t want to re-rewrite my review .
    I don’t listen to a lot of podcasts these days but wanted a punk one that was not interviews. Punk Lotto fits the bill. It’s refreshing to hear viewpoints on punk from people a decade or so younger than myself even if I don’t agree with their review. I’m somewhere in the 2019s now and will continue to listen if they keep churning them out. Update: 2021: I’ve made it to where the format has changed so I felt like I needed to redo my review. Having the guest pick the album has been a great format change. The interviews are insightful and enjoyable. I especially liked the episodes with Bedroommagic and Wife Patrol.

    More “punk” elitist or just hipsters?
    I tried but these dry conversations are so boring. elitist punks talking smack on other punk genres that aren’t cool enough for them.

    Great concept
    The concept is so great, I am kicking myself for not thinking of it first. The hosts seem nice enough and keep me entertained, but the strange thing is out of the five or six episodes that I’ve listened to, they haven’t liked any of the albums besides one (even some bonafide classics). Do these dudes even dig punk rock? While I am completely cool listening to someone who has different musical tastes than me, where it falls short a bit is the lack of research going into some of the episodes and getting some info wrong. I still like it enough though because I am a total nerd for record reviews. It’s just so strange that a punk rock review show doesn’t like Circle Jerks, Rudimentary Peni, The Boys, the Clash (other than give em enough rope), MDC, The Business, The Subhumans, The Dicks etc... Saying that The Subhumans culturally appropriated reggae music on the “Rats” episode because they have no black members is a huuuuuge stretch BTW. A totally anti-racist band. Your intro music is by Jawbox (a band of white members doing a rock and roll song...). Maybe I’m just too old to get where they’re coming from.
  • Brains, fresh brains
    Not good, just not good.
    No useful info, no insight, no humor, terrible taste, whiny voices. Do they even like punk rock? I mean how do you not know who Subhumans are? They don’t like MDC or Circle Jerks but do like Soccer Mommy! Maybe some people like listening to non punk rockers review punk songs. Not me.

    Pretty cool bros
    These dank bros have some sic opinions.

    Great punk podcast
    This is a great concept. Using random number generators to pick a different year and two random releases from the punk charts that year and review them. Some of the titles I’ve been familiar with and others I discover with the hosts. I’ve discovered several new artists and some obscure releases by bigger artists. It usually causes me to go hit YouTube and listen to whatever EP or LP, so I formulate my opinion too. Very promising so far, can’t wait to hear the upcoming eps.

    Not very good.
    The concept is great but poorly executed. The two hosts are morons and don’t bother to research what they are talking about aside from Wikipedia. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time on this podcast.
  • VasantR
    Not great
    I like the concept of this podcast, but the 2 hosts don’t have the knowledge or taste to pull it off. I listened to at least 3 episodes and they were mostly stumbling over basic facts. I’ll stick to Turned Out a Punk and You Don’t Know Mojack for well-researched, informed opinions on punk rock.
