    Everything Elvis!

    I loved listening to the podcast and learning about Elvis a little more! Love it!!! Highly recommended it for Elvis fans or people wanting to know more about him!!!!!! 👍😊⚡️
  • Robert Metcalf

  • Kate from New Orleans
    Best Elvis Podcast
    They clearly have a deep love for Elvis but don’t mind critiquing him when necessary. I discovered Elvis through the 2022 movie and am grateful I did. Better late than never. This podcast is fun and informative and I would recommend it to both old and new fans of Elvis.
  • tinml2003
    Entertaining and insightful
    Justin, Gurdip and the rest of the rotating crew are fantastic. This is by far THE ESSENTIAL Elvis podcast to subscribe to.
  • DirtyWaterDoggy
    Must listen for all things Elvis
    I’m a 50-something longtime fan of the King, going back to my childhood in the mid-70s. I’ve read tons books and thought I was reasonably knowledgeable, but this podcast has really opened my eyes. I stumbled on it about a year ago, and am hooked on the great deep dive information.
  • Gedod
    Informative & Entertaining Elvis Podcast
    An entertaining and informative weekly deep dive into the life & music of Elvis Presley delivered in a friendly and easy & listening podcast. I highly recommend this podcast to any Elvis fan.
  • AllenS!
    Amazing show!
    Love this show! Every episode is chocked full of amazing information that even a fan like me hasn’t heard before! The amount of research that is put in is really extraordinary! Keep up the great work!
  • CaptPresley
    Really Good Elvis Podcast, but…
    I recently discovered this podcast and enjoy it. My only disappointment is the unnecessary F-Bombs. I know that it’s part of todays regular vocabulary unfortunately, but it is inappropriate for a podcast that I should be able to listen to with my family. I will listen more with my kids if the language gets cleaned up a bit. Thanks!

    EP, Entertainer, Artist, Human
    As a new fan of Elvis, this pod is a treasure because Justin & Gurdip do their research. I learn something new every time. Also, I appreciate the critical ear & eye of the podcast hosts because they acknowledge that Elvis was human, imperfect alongside being talented, unique, and generous. I always feel like I’m having coffee with Justin, Gurdip, and the gang each time I tune in to an episode ☕️ Every fan should add this to their Elvis collection 🎙 🎶

    Love Elvis!
    Terrific podcast!!
  • elvis eagner
    Episode 184
    Uplifting songs in order 1. What a wonderful world. Louie Armstrong 2. Wonderful World. Elvis Presley (close second) 3. Here comes the sun. The Beatles. (Distant third). They are all great songs. But I search more and enjoy more 1 and 2. FYI Dave from Michigan
  • MikeOfTheTerribleOpinion
    It exists!
    As a new-ish fan of Elvis, I was hoping there would be a podcast I could use as a springboard for deeper dives into his career. This one is perfect so far. The hosts seem knowledgable (to a new fan, mind you) and are informative without being too stiff. Highly recommended.
  • P. F. 787
    In The Ghetto by Bobby Blue Bland is pretty !!!
    Mac Davis episode quite well done... Major mess up in missing Bobby Blue Blands version of In The Ghetto— I’m sure Elvis would have felt very simpatico! Might also check out Ray Charles version of without Love There is Nothing! Just keep the scope widening on the music... P. F.
  • Olivia_M_R
    Informative, Entertaining, Hilarious!
    Informative, interesting, entertaining, and often hilarious podcast detailing the music, movies, and influences of Elvis, as well as books and movies created about him! Love how the hosts stay away from the all too common narrative of Elvis’ personal life and keep the focus on his career and professional growth! This podcast is a weekly must-listen for me!
  • Everrett C Everett
    Amazing
    How do they do it? Great production, even sound where both gentleman are at the same sound level. One of the only podcasts to get this down. Compelling reviews
  • Kade Inversion
    Two thumbs up
    Really good informative Elvis podcast.
  • TWHensley
    This is the Elvis podcast I was looking for
    This podcast focuses on the music, not only analyzing Elvis’s own recordings and alternate takes but the history of the songs and versions by other artists. The hosts each have their own opinions, but they clearly respect each other and always give you something to think about. I’ve been an Elvis fan for a long time, but this podcast has turned me on to several songs that I didn’t give proper attention to before and never really appreciated as I should have. All I can say is, you’d better have a subscription to Apple Music or some other streaming service, or you’ll go broke buying all the songs you’ll want to check out after listening to just a few episodes of the TCBCast.

    More Elvis Please
    Great show with two of most knowledgeable Elvis nerds around. Great in depth of songs, movies and all the rare Elvis goodies out there. Keep up the good work.
  • heatherbushead
    Excellent
    The best Elvis podcast around, hands down. Each episode is entertaining and so well researched and thought out. It’s amazing and I anxiously await each new episode.
  • Mister Oohlala
    Best Elvis Pod

    The best podcast on iTunes.
    The TCBCast is a fun and fantastic celebration of the life and career of Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll. The podcast features two enthusiastic fans who host the program and engage in lively conversations regarding all things Elvis and his influences. There are occasional interesting guests and weekly features such as trivia questions and song of the week selections. I highly recommend this podcast for both casual and serious fans of Elvis Presley.
  • C.C.Rider4
    TCB in a flash
    Awesome podcast about Elvis Presley. Many insightful anecdotes and enjoyable reviews of the many movies and recordings in Elvis’ career. Long live the King and TCBCast!
  • Yupsicle
    The Elvis podcast for Elvis scholars
    Most Elvis stuff you find in podcastland is either condescending/dismissive or shallow homage to the “icon”. #TCBcast refreshingly breaks the mold for those of us who study and collect the recording ARTIST, providing sober, thoughtful and smart insights and oodles of historical context and factoids.
  • JTGilbert
    Very Enjoyable!
    Thank you for doing a great FAN podcast! It’s good to hear y’all talking about the things Elvis fans want to hear and talk about.
