Sounds Good To Me
Sounds Good To Me is a music discovery podcast. In each episode, Ben, a music nerd, chats with his guest about the music (s)he's loving right now. It could be the latest song from an indie band or a group of classic hits—if it's new to our guest, we'll talk about it. Ben then recommends songs for his guest to check out for more discovery.
