"This Album..." with William Hann. The podcast where each episode a guest and I deep dive an album of their choice. It could be an album from any artist, any genre, any year. We're going to discuss the songs, the shows, the artwork. But what I really want is to know is the emotional attachment my guest has to the album. Who knows, we might even have a bloody laugh while doing it!
