Every time I listen to this podcast it feels like talking about music and memories with a friend. It’s refreshing just to hear about someone’s love of music without them having to show how much they know about music. Thank you for making this talking about music with a friend type podcast.

I’ve been following you on TT forever , glad I found your podcast. I’m in my 90s nostalgia era and I love that I can relate to you and feel 90% more cool about it

Many of these are the same records that helped make me who I am. Love listening, please keep going.

I find his videos funny and was happy to find this podcast! As a musician too and same age, it’s like talking with a friend about the music we grew up with and changed us. Keep it up!

Jacob has found a way to take his love of music and turn it into digital audio. His magic power is to getting total strangers to fall in love with music all over again.

Absolutely love Jacob and love this podcast ❤️ His upbringing is super relatable to fellow contemporaries and especially Pumpkins fans like myself. I really dig the descriptive metaphors he utilizes to communicate his fondness and appreciation for music in general and specific parts of songs in particular. Can’t wait til he drops the Mellon-Collie episode! Keep up the great work man 🤘

Jacob takes you on journey filled with facts and personal reflections on his experiences with music. He has such a genuine approach that a true fan of music has.

Jacob’s energy is awesome! I only listen to a handful of podcasts but I’m super glad I came across this one after finding him on tiktok. He has an incredible way of reviewing an album in a way that’s both historically accurate and anecdotally compelling. I swear I learn something new about bands I thought I knew everything about after each episode. Keep ‘em comin!

Found him on TikTok & his reaction videos were like looking in a mirror! His takes on podcast are great. His Pearl Jam Ten review was fantastic especially him explaining His view of Jeremy.

Jacob Givens is a huge inspiration. He’s never afraid to speak with an open heart and with caring passion about his favorite music. It’s so refreshing to listen to a podcast by someone who loves and cares about 90s music as much, it seems, as I do without ever covering up his enthusiasm and joy with jaded cynicism or sarcasm (i.e.: “Songs That Explain the 90s” - ugh). Jacob’s episode on Tori Amos was beautiful. I love that he’s incorporating more interviews with musicians that came up in the 90s or are currently supporting bands that blew up then. I feel like the sky is the limit for this podcast. If you were bowled over by Sonic Youth’s “Dirty” and ever cried after a break-up while listening to The Smashing Pumpkins’ “Mayonaise,” this podcast is for you.

This guy is so genuine that you feel like you have known him all your life! Worth the subscribe and listen! Pure talent.

Met this guy on tiktoc and had to subscribe. He has excellent content and look forward to hearing all his podcasts
