- My favorite podcast
Always been a massive Lou/Sebadoh/Dino Jr fan and heard about this pod through Ben and Ione on Weirder Together and was instantly hooked after first listen. The dynamic between Lou and Adelle is amazing and being a native Minnesotan myself, I love hearing stories of Adelle growing up in the MPLS/St. Paul area. Hope to one day visit the General Store if I’m ever out east! 4-Track Man for President!
