Ridiculous Rock Record Reviews

Ridiculous Rock Record Reviews

A podcast in which a group of music fans picks a rock album (anything from soft rock to hard rock to heavy metal) and spends the episode talking about it and reviewing it.

Frequently guests ("co-pilots") co-host the show with with our regular rotating panel. Rock on!
