Still waiting for the blur vs oasis song vs song, but other than that no complaints

Going on 7 years of listening, this show is the main reason I have Apple Podcasts downloaded to my device. Todd is a pretty knowledgeable cohost. But I gotta tell you, when that Lena Morgan starts talking, I slam the brakes, put my phone down, hush the conversation, stop everything and listen. One of the most knowledgeable hosts I’ve heard on any music program, and hilarious! Great show.

Love Todd work and have been since I was a teenager. His cohost his such a pretentious and smug. She is such a hipster while having such a normie music taste. None of her pretension is earned imo.

my only complaint (complaint about Todd's content in general) is that they don't give a lot of background. i'm not super into music like our hosts so it'd be appreciated also personally i love the "thespian, equestrian, singer? we're gonna give it to him." every week

I love Pat! I love this podcast! I don’t love Interstate Love Song. Brings me back to dark childhood times.

I came here from Todd’s channel, and while I love his insights, Lina really brings the podcast over the top. Her blend of hipster tendencies and unapologetic kitsch is delightful and I have found myself smiling about her off-kilter observations on multiple occasions (I no longer can hear “Gigantic” by the Pixies without thinking about her musings, for one). Thank you, Lina, for your beautifully insular contributions.

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.

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.

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.

But the Katy Perry v. Jill Sobule is a highlight.

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

Nice review!

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!

The hosts have great chemistry and they squeeze a lot of fun discussions out of a pretty silly premise for a podcast

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.

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.

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

I don’t like the songs but the podcast is good and I love it

Not a lot of people know this, but Lina grew up in New Jersey!

This is the only podcast that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed, 10/10 would recommend

But I’m here for Lena.

That’s it

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!

The best music podcast that asks the most important questions

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!!

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!

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 ❤️

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.

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 🤣

I love your show! Would you consider Incubus “Drive” vs 311 “Amber”? I’d love to hear an episode featuring 311.

I love Todd’s YouTube channel but always wish he’d cover more indie artists, so this podcast is a dream come true!

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

Love the format and style of this podcast. Todd and Alina are great hosts, it feels like hanging out with my music nerd buddies.

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.

you can listen to it,

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

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.

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.

Todd and Alina are some of my favorite hosts in any podcast. Just a fun, easy to enjoy podcast with two friends.

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!

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.

Great podcast, love Todd and Dany, but most importantly, I enjoyed Dany’s “not in front of da baby” joke!

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.

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.

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 !

Great pacing and I learn a lot every episode

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?

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!

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.

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!!!
