I listened to Brian and Bill throughout my entire time in college. Their podcast and opinions have expanded my knowledge on music and how I discuss it with my own friends. Some of the greatest music fans and music “critics” I’ve ever listened too :) I’m so glad they’re back, thank you B&B!!!
And I am so excited that you’re back! 😃
Don’t listen to people who say that they are just ok
Edit: OMGthereback
I loved this podcast, please come back.
I have loved this podcast forever. Please comeback!
