Weekly Beats

Weekly Beats

Welcome to Weekly Beats, a music podcast dedicated towards the new stuff, the weird stuff, the old stuff, and the popular stuff! Each week, hosts Mark and Charlie dig into a new album of their choice, and then give a spin to whatever the best selling album in the US is that week. If that wasn't enough to float your boat, the bros from OH also release new special episodes each month, which range from Artist Profiles, in which three different eras from a major artist are discussed, to After School Specials, in which the guys dig into their favorite albums from high school with fresh eyes.
