Are You Listening?
Joy Road MediaA music podcast born from two friends trying to get each other to listen to their favorite albums and neither being super receptive to it. Each week they cover a different record, some history on the artist, other albums that came out at the same time, and the Billboard Charts before discussing the actual album. They then answer the question: Throne, Own, Phone or Groan?
