Enjoy debating font sizes on festival lineups? Or better yet, ever make a fake Coachella poster and fill it with emo bands? This is your podcast. Each Thursday morning, Billboard staff writer Chris Payne chats with musicians and music writers about what's going on in alternative music; we've got behind-the-scenes stories, chart insight, ~inspirational moments~ and yes, RED HOT TAKES straight from Billboard's New York City office.

    Favorite thing about Thursdays
    #AlternativeFacts is a great balance of news on the big alt bands as well as the new names on the scene. It's chart insight you can really only get from the peeps at Billboard, plus coverage on new music that is honestly all *SO* good.

    C Payne is king
    The best alternative podcast was Alt In Our Stars. Now the best alternative podcast is Alternative Facts. I love C Payne's good humor and knowledge. Happy to be a subscriber!

    I have to say that yes it's true that not many of the kids from this new generation are into the old kind of punk rock but there are still some of us, I would have to say that I honestly liked the older blink-182 with Tom and Mark. There still a good band but I have to say I was very disappointed when I had found out that Tom was no longer in the band.

    Chris Payne Leads Sharp Pop Culture And Music Biz Interviews
    Chris Payne's "Alt In Our Stars" digs in with musicians about their crafts and careers. 5 stars if you keep up with music news and want a deeper dive.

    Cool vibes
    The interviewer gives cool vibes to people he interviews, like Zac Farro, Lights, CHVRCHES, Panic at the Disco. Cool chat with music artists. :)

    Scott Stapp interview
    Finally decided to check this podcast out after seeing it on Twitter numerous times.... I'm done. The host is horrible. Stapp answers a question, the host transitions with "yeahh, so uh..." Voice is terribly annoying as well

    Scott stapp interview
    Host of the podcast sounds like a stoned millennial with the vocabulary of a 10 year old. So yah, it like sucked.
