Classic! Rocks!
Truly silly. They’re having a fun time recording and I’m having a fun time listening. The world of Val Verde is a reassuring place to slip away to each week.

A truly hilarious parody.
So so so funny, so quick, and so well made. Truly a pitch perfect parody of a classic rock station. And to think it’s all improvised! Incredible.

So so good
The care and attention that these guys put into world-building is truly first-class. How they keep it all straight is beyond me, but this is a pitch-perfect show that’s both an homage to and a parody of the hometown classic rock radio stations we all know and love. Props to Jason and Geoff!

Thank you, Paul Scheer, for the recommendation!
Currently listening to the Genesis episode and you guys are the best. Right up there with the Rat. A great morning show DJ parity with exponential intelligence and humor! And by the way you guys are deep cut with your Genesis knowledge! There is no misunderstanding! And by the way, going back and listening to the catalog Abacab, it’s also my favorite Genesis album! The way they play with the time signature on all the songs.

Prepare to laugh out loud!
I am huge fan of the world Jason and Geoff have built. The commercials are hilarious. If you like The Best Show or Double Threat you will love The Hawk!! Please bring back Willy Crystal, Atamanuik is hilarious.

After the second Kiss episode, I had to...
These two recorded how much Hawk Rock Talk AND Whisp AND commercials in the same day? Legends. Needless to say this has become a go-to for this formerly fervent metalhead. Excellent improv, mad scenes, great guests, and the homegrown Val Verde radio spots are perfectly unhinged, featuring your favorite classic rock legends. Keep em coming fellas

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.

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

Micki macmac’s talons have me hooked! This is my favorite comedy podcast. Seriously great characters in the immersive world of Valverde. I can’t stop replaying to epic end of the Willy Crystal episode. You must listen or Wisp is coming for you! You won’t even know what happened. Just ask Danny Ackroyd.

Val Verde is a world unto itself.
The 5-layer bean dip of alternate reality that is Val Verde which emerges over the series is an impressive piece of world-building by Jason & Geoff. The guests have been funny and fun, and I especially enjoy the commercials.

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

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.

Not to rag on these here dolls
But, this is my 3rd favorite classic rock radio podcast. Naw, just “boston” on the boys from Val Verde a smidge. Get a grip. This podcast has me hooked like The Angry Man (sp?) is/was hooked on those chicken wings!!

so dumb
This is dumb in the best possible way. It’s hilarious and I love it immensely.
Not convinced about that Jason guy though, maybe he’s not the best fit for the format of the show.
