Scratch Track Podcast

Scratch Track Podcast

Scratch Track is a chat podcast about those useless opinions we all have. Join hosts Kyle and Darin, along with a cavalcade of guests, as they navigate a tangent-filled wonderland of banter, laughs, and figuring out how to run this friggin' podcast. It's like a warm cup of hot chocolate for your ears – but, like, not the good kind made on the stove. It's the kind that's from a pack and mixed in water you heated up in the microwave, and it scalds your tongue on the first sip so you can't even taste the rest of it. That kind.
