Romper Ruminations

Romper Ruminations

Join Leo Antonelli and Kevin Meschino as they slip into their baby blue terrycloth rompers and go on a pop culture odyssey of the obscure. Each episode shines a light on a forgotten nugget that somehow fell through the cracks. "We’re digging goodies out of the reduced bin of history, dusting them off and maybe giving them a second chance." New episodes drop every Friday. For more, see https://romperruminations.com.
