I’ve recently discovered this podcast via another fantastic one: Permanent Record Podcast. I’m glad I gave this a listen. It’s very well done with nice insights on music I love, well-produced and timed. I’ve got many shows I’m looking forward to hearing (especially the Halloween playlist one as the holiday is coming up). Thanks for a quality production!
Love the positive energy Nick brings to every episode of his podcast. Keep it up!
