  • Great KISS talk

    Just found this podcast and really enjoyed the Rock n Roll Over ep. Have to deduct a star for Mike having bad case of “To me”. Don’t need to say “…to me” after saying every opinion about a song or something. It’s all your opinions so don’t need to specify “to me” each time you say something. It’s just nonstop.
