    Meh
    Only made it through about 20 minutes or one show before I decided my time was more valuable. I felt their input was fairly casual and centered on whatever the popular opinion was at the time. If your tastes align with them you may enjoy it more.

    Love Todd dislike the other just
    Been a Todd fan since I was a teen but i dislike the hipster contort. Maybe it’s just the metal and hardcore fan I dispose hipster and indie rock. Todd actually sounds like he enjoys music unironically. Comes off as pretentious and smug.

    Can’t Get Enough
    These two play off each other so well it’s insane 10/10 podcast if you’re into two hilarious people just talking about music. Come for Todd, stay for Lina.

    Lina and Todd rule
    This show rocks. Every episode is great! Also, I saw someone writing a review trashing Lina and calling them a grating hipster, so I’m writing this review to say Todd and Lina have incredible co-host chemistry and I genuinely can’t think of the show without either.

    Always Fun, Always Thought-provoking
    But the Katy Perry v. Jill Sobule is a highlight.

    Todd rules.
    Todd rules, the hipster co host is annoying and grating.This gets worse and worse as hipster co host becomes more and more hipster .

    My Favorite Podcast
    This is by far the most entertaining and interesting music podcast out there. I love hearing Todd and Lina discuss their takes on these songs!
  • Stuntman McCoolshit
    Love this show
    The hosts have great chemistry and they squeeze a lot of fun discussions out of a pretty silly premise for a podcast

    Unique And Entertaining Approach To Music Analysis
    Todd and Lina make this show highly entertaining with their view on the songs, as well as the albums and artists related to them. While some of the tropes of the show become evident early on (I feel like you could make a whole drinking game on Lina’s phrases) they do not put a damper on the quality of the show. Guests can provide different and funny insight into the match ups. The only drawback to the format this show takes is that we NEED a fifth question! Four just leaves to many draws! I also recommend their Patreon for their music related media reviews.
  • Hevvring
    One of my all time fave podcasts
    Song vs Song makes my little music nerd heart happy. It’s got the vibe of a bunch of friends having a chill night in and debating their favorite music, but also having the expertise of research and pop culture history to make the arguments even more intriguing.
  • brooklynhistorianLars
    Good
    Bobby helms existed into 1958 and there’s a quiz of his 3 hot 100 proper hits and everyone gets jingle bell rock but nobody gets the others (borrowed dreams, the fool and the angel) at all
  • 🙏👁👄👁
    It’s the song I don’t like
    I don’t like the songs but the podcast is good and I love it
  • Hugo Wull
    A fun fact
    Not a lot of people know this, but Lina grew up in New Jersey!
  • Bronson-
    Best podcast imo
    This is the only podcast that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed, 10/10 would recommend
  • Daecious
    Todd’s ok
    But I’m here for Lena.
  • Mr. Nice Guy...
    Liked the Eurovision episode
    That’s it
  • Samiliz1
    Amazing analysis, entertaining hosts!
    LOVE Lina and Todd’s analyses of the songs and the history of different genres. They’re also pretty funny and entertaining, and they have such great chemistry. 10/10 content, more people need to be listening!
  • sorrow1993
    Todd and Lina are my favorite duo!
    The best music podcast that asks the most important questions

    My Favorite Podcast
    Recently discovered this podcast and i was really intrigued the first time i scrolled through the videos and saw “Welcome To The Jungle vs Enter Sandman”. ever since then i’ve been closely following the podcast and discovering music id never even heard of before, amazing energy between Alina and Todd and the guests they occasionally bring in always seem to feel right at home in their territory. 5 STARS!!
  • roseviola1
    Truly great listen for any music lover!
    Free wheeling, informative, and entertaining discussions about a wide range of music. Todd and Alina are both incredibly knowledgeable, as well as hilarious and very engaging to listen to. This has quickly become my favorite music podcast!
  • Efarz
    Educational with the Right Amount of Snark
    Absolutely love Song vs Song! I’m already a very music trivia inclined person and I feel like Todd and Alina are kindred spirits in that regard. I’m learning so much about songs I thought I knew and they give me information about songs I wasn’t that aware of. Love the format, love this show. Absolute new favorite ❤️
  • redmax7156
    Chill + Fun
    As a music nerd with a compulsive need to argue, this podcast fills the hole for the argumentative-music-nerd friends I wish I had. Come for the music history, stay for William Shatner, Weird Al, + the cat-themed song parodies. As a bonus, it's also introduced me to a lot of really great music.
  • Combaticus83
    Excellent.
    Great show. Flys by. I’m also super impressed that tho mrs Morgan practices a non traditional like style it doesn’t ever become the topic of the show. It’s just something he/she whatever practices but doesn’t feel the need to preach. Soood 5 star pod. Gotta do CCR run thru the jungle vs join fogertys old man down the road. So similar it was sued over. Wonder why it was so similar 🤣
  • Llucas9
    Episode Suggestion
    I love your show! Would you consider Incubus “Drive” vs 311 “Amber”? I’d love to hear an episode featuring 311.
  • hdriwsipspshdhxhdjdhhd
    Todd in the Shadows + indie bands = good!
    I love Todd’s YouTube channel but always wish he’d cover more indie artists, so this podcast is a dream come true!
  • Grizzpaul11
    Not my style
    I think the concept is fun. The delivery wasn’t my style. I also didn’t expect the language since the explicit tag wasn’t used in the episodes I listened to
  • CocteauTwink
    🌝
    Love the format and style of this podcast. Todd and Alina are great hosts, it feels like hanging out with my music nerd buddies.
  • Airmfpdoejenrpsidh
    Listen to this Podcast
    If you are a human being with a heatbeat and auditory senses you need to listen to this podcast. It’s two amazing people arguing “highly researched” sides as to which song is “objectively the best”. The ever shifting genres are sure to line up with your musical taste for at least half a dozen episodes, and for the ones you’ve never heard before they’re worth a listen.
  • Cam and POPS
    it’s a podcast
    you can listen to it,

    Very Casual and Entertaining
    This podcast is great for relaxing and hearing new perspectives on music in an informal and humorous way. The cohosts Todd and Alina play off of each other very well, and their commentary makes each episode very entertaining, even if you don’t have very strong feelings for either song. Fantastic for fans of Todd’s YouTube channel who want to hear his thoughts on music in a more off-the-cuff way than his regular videos, or anyone who likes hearing friendly discussion about media
  • Drizzle Dry
    Good idea but it’s a pass for me
    Good premise for a show, but the hosts ruin it. Annoying to listen to and they find ways to shoehorn politics and Trump into it. I don’t care what someone’s politics are just tired of it. I don’t listen to music podcasts to hear unrelated politics squeezed in.
  • Elcnu
    Disappointing
    I love "Todd in the Shadows," but this isn't for me. It might be for you if you're into the whole "Dude, we're just like two friends hanging out or whatever, saying whatever pops into our heads about random stuff" approach to podcasting. I am not. Todd can make funny, thoughtful, focused content, but this is not it.
  • posstoss
    Fantastic
    Todd and Alina are some of my favorite hosts in any podcast. Just a fun, easy to enjoy podcast with two friends.
  • glordoesstuff
    Funny podcast about music
    I discovered this podcast since I’ve been following Todd since he used post reviews on Blip. If you like music podcasts that don’t take themselves too seriously, this is worth checking out!
  • Milkfeed
    So Much Potential
    I really want to like this show. The concept is fantastic and I love seeing their new picks each week. But for the life of me, I can’t understand having a music podcast and not playing even ten seconds of either song. You can use instrumental/strings covers/8-bit/midi versions, guys. I don’t think they’re maximizing the potential of an audio format.
  • AliMC1987
    One of the 10s of people
    Great podcast, love Todd and Dany, but most importantly, I enjoyed Dany’s “not in front of da baby” joke!
  • Emily Swords
    Absolutely delightful!
    Great concept, charmingly executed. I’ve enjoyed Todd in the Shadows for years now, but only started listening to this podcast earlier this year. It always makes me smile. I like that the songs are chosen from a variety of decades.
  • TheoDuncan
    Fantastic stuff!
    I love Dany's laugh on this podcast (content is great too!). If I meet him someday, and can make him laugh like that in real life, I will feel #blessed.
  • Suzepv
    Can you play song clips 🙏
    Love the podcast, enjoy hearing about songs that were my 20s soundtrack...any chance y’all could play a smidge of the song or is that copyrighted??? Would enhance your pod a million percent !
  • Hasreadit
    Excellent Podcast
    Great pacing and I learn a lot every episode
  • Details Later
    Why did I not love this podcast sooner?
    Or know it existed even earlier? The discussion is hiarious, and you feel so conected to the experiences of the host. Great curation of which song to compare to another as well. With the audio format, Todd in the Shadows is still the shadows, huh?
  • madcapmadison
    Fun and informative
    No one: Dany: “Soup to nuts” Love this podcast; feels like I’m having a conversation with two friends about my favorite music! I also learn a few things about music and pop culture history!
  • Kacie13
    Todd is the best part, just go watch his YouTube channel
    Todd’s YouTube videos are always well researched and interesting. I this is kind of podcast that would be right up my alley but for some reason it’s just not doing it for me. Their points are thin, they stretch basically nothing into 45 min. Danny (I think that’s his name) is constantly interrupting Todd which is grating. He also says “and let me tell you why” about 5 times per episode it seems. Example “you’re wrong and let me tell you why...” once you notice this you can’t un-notice it and it will drive you crazy. I know this is just a podcast of their opinions but I guess their opinions just aren’t that interesting to me. Just go watch Todd’s YouTube channel if you like music history and more informed points. It’s better in basically every way.
  • GGbbiirrdd
    My favorite podcast
    I love these musical comparisons, and each episode leaves me with a satisfying take on each song vs. each song. Dan & Todd have that "friends in real life" chemistry a lot of other podcasts don't have. I look forward to every new episode! LONG LIVE SONG VS. SONG!!!
  • Mike McCarrick
    Very fun and entertaining
    Been down in the dumps and this show has helped me feel better. Can’t wait for new episodes!
  • Bloodymikein97
    Just a little Feedback
    We don’t care what you think about the artists looks or if you’d marry them. We want to hear about the songs. I’m a straight white male if that matters.
  • mr trek
    i always look forward to new episodes
    this podcast is not only informative, but super fun too. the format the hosts have developed is really unique and engaging. come for todd but stay for dany talking about being old and shatner impersonations...but seriously the dynamic between dany and todd is really nice to listen to.
  • m0vielover1980
    Lost me
    The first episode started out good, then they made several comments about the president. Keep your political opinions to yourself if you are doing a music podcast. They lost me.
  • Lagartija Nicholas
    Funny and Informative
    Found this from the Todd in the Shadows channel and immediately listened to all the episodes. I’ve learned a lot and told my friends about it. I love to listen to it while I’m practicing my guitar scales.
