Hawk Rock Talk: The Definitive Unflappable List of Pink Floyd Records
The Definitive Unflappable List of Pink Floyd Records Every magazine, website or podcast has ranked the Pink Floyd catalog. Every one of those rankings is wrong. Jason Gore and Geoff Garlock separately ranked all 15 Pink Floyd studio albums, then entered a brutal negotiation to create one final, legally binding list. No live albums. Only the studio half of Ummagumma. No appeals. Along the way, Jason defends the Pink Floyd album he bought at a midnight release, Geoff attacks a beloved record al

This is genius
This is easily my new favorite podcast. The DJs on this station really know their stuff! This reminds me of what rock radio used to be like and I mean that in the best way possible.

Consistently Funniest Podcast
This is the most consistently funny, enjoyable, brighten-my-day podcast out there right now. Jason Gore masterfully voices an assemblage of fascinating weirdo DJs, and his brand of humor shines through, with deep respect and reference to the Best Show with Tom Scharpling. Tom used to voice different DJ-character interludes during the Best Show, and this podcast is like a beautiful evolution of that experience. Thanks for making it!

Classic rock hilarity
For anyone who grew up listening to classic rock radio, this is a must listen. Gore and Garlock get it hilariously right.

So funny
Makes me laugh out loud multiple times per episode. “Nobody likes a garbage cow”. Surreal, zany, goofy. If you grew up on classic rock radio, this podcast is for you.

It's Hawk o'clock!
No better medicine for a Monday like getting a bite in the ear from The Hawk! It's like taking laughing pills to excess, except no pills and just a ridiculously hilarious podcast. The Hawk rules.

This Hawk has talons
I love this podcast. Quickly becoming a weekly first listen. If you loved the “alternate radio universe” bits on the best show and/or ever spent a lot of time listening to your local small town rock station, you’ll love it too

hawk around the clock 🏆
having grown up listening to classic rock radio in the mornings while getting ready for school, 108.9 The Hawk is absolutely hilarious and spot-on. the ads and jingles are so well done (the NyQuil Chicken song made me burst out laughing in public) and really bring the Val Verde Extended Universe to life. great podcast, 10/10, would recommend

Perfect
This show really nails the sound of listening to a classic rock station all day—the DJ personalities, the commercial breaks, all parodied from a place of genuine love, while doing a great amount of world-building in the fictional town of Val Verde. The fake commercials really are brilliant, too.
