  • Love this podcast

    only discovered this podcast in 2026 and thankful that it is still going. really enjoy these friends discussing music, and somehow they don’t fall into any of the traps that similar podcasts hosted by friends fall into that make them unlistenable. enjoy the banter and listening to old episodes when they mention current events is a fun time capsule.
