  • Dive deep

    Deep dive into one incredible record after the next. I get so excited when I see a new episode come through because I know I’ll get to find out often about a band I didn’t know about or at least not nearly as well. It’s just such a great podcast. I’d say Podcast at their best allow for great works of art like this
