Hey, what can I say— I’m a fan! Chris is always amped and Matt has that informational background on the songs that helps paint a picture of the time and circumstances that created a (singular) hit song.

How many times have you wondered what happened to a band that had one smash hit or those people that recorded one song that will stick with you your whole life? Chris and Mat answer all of these questions and more in this fantastically researched and beautifully presented podcast. You laugh. You cry. It's better than 'Cats.' 💜🦄💜

The constant tangents on Punchline’s lack of success really makes the podcast difficult to listen to. Deviating from the subject matter to complain detracts from/stifles the fun and relaxed nature of the podcast. I do really think there’s some great discussion to be had. I’m a big fan of the Thomas Dolby and Jane Child episodes, and have binged the show many times. The hosts are extremely knowledgeable, intellectual and hilariously entertaining, but all of that is constantly overshadowed by Punchline-specific “whataboutism.” I wish I could give it more stars, but there have just been one too many episodes where the actual topic was abandoned in favor of ranting about why Chris’ band should be more successful, and it’s just extremely frustrating, especially for a podcast of this caliber. Frankly, it reeks of bitterness, envy, and misplaced animosity. I had so much hope for this podcast, but the constant whining about not being famous/successful enough feels akin to a little kid throwing a temper tantrum.

Love revisiting songs, listening to the banter, and laughing along!

Chris and Matt consistently put together a high quality can’t miss podcast each week. The production is well-done and the research is superb. Package that with genuine humorous chemistry between the hosts and guests and you’ve got a podcast that will not disappoint.

This podcast brings the thunder! Fafalios & Matt are great hosts, the show has an awesome theme, and the production is top notch. Keep it up dudes!

I really enjoy listening to this podcast on my drive home from work! Matt and Chris really do their research on the one hit wonders of the past, and they seem like they have fun doing so. One Hit Thunder has introduced me to several new (old) bands and great songs I may have missed when they were more frequently played!

Chris and Matt do an amazing job with this show. They have great guests, are very knowledgeable about all these songs, and I enjoy how many times, the discussion delves into other music as well. I'm addicted and look forward to the new episode each week!

I apologize for it taking me so long to write a glowing review. This podcast is great for any punk teenager that grew up, stayed punk but can appreciate all kinds of music, including cheesy but well crafted Top 40 schlock. This pod keeps getting better.

This podcast is thunder!! Finding this was a nice addition to my weekly routine. Another great topic! I find myself singing these theme songs all day long. Thanks for keeping things fun! I love listening.

Great episode on MmmBop by Hanson, the band once criminally underrated who sadly revealed themselves to be unworthy of being rated at all. Appreciated the nuanced discussion, both of the song and the recent controversy. Can’t wait to catch up on the back catalog because I’m seeing lots of 90’s favorites on the list!

I got turned onto this podcast because Chris the host is the producer for another podcast I dig.I love the idea of what it is and I love how they talk about it and it’s fans talking about what they like so everyone relates without a band background. It’s very fine it jumps around genres fairly so it’s not pigeonholed buy just one style of one hit wonder and I look forward to it during the week to listen to it is a good driving podcast on my daily commute

Everyone loves one hit wonders, so it really interesting listening to a podcast that breaks down some of the best ever. Highly recommend for any music fans out there.

Really fun concept pulling all the best nostalgia strings. Definitely worth listening as they talk about whether some of your favorite one hit wonders deserve the hype!

Such a fun and great idea! Super engaging and funny! I really enjoyed it! Looking forward to the next episode!

Do you like music? Especially those one hit wonders that get stuck in your head and you can’t seem to forget!?! Then this podcast is for you! It was exciting, fun and kept me laughing and smiling reminiscing of singing in the car with friends at the top of our lungs! I can’t wait till the next one!

Loved the first episode and can’t wait for more!

One-hit-wonders are always a fun and emotional throwback. Love listening to how other people relate to them while having a little bout of nostalgia.

Very excited for this podcast just discussing it with the members of the podcast I’ve come across many songs I had forgotten about from back in the day! Highly recommend giving it a listen it will be a great time!

This podcast is another great piece of content by the very consistent Chris Fafalios. The concept is engaging. Everyone has a favorite one-hit wonder, and now you can explore an entire world of music that was just waiting to be discussed. Check it out!

I’m absolutely biased, being the first guest on the show, but I think it came out great! I laughed listening to it. Chris is a great host, and Matt did a fantastic job making it all come together!

Really like this podcast idea and the execution. It’s fun to hear a musician talk about one hit wonders in a fun and engaging way.
