Quick update guys. From now on we're only going to be on Spotify. The podcast is on a new trajectory. We're no longer doing interviews. We're taking music from various areas of pop culture and breaking it down for you. We figured it would be pretty cool to play actual music on the show. The only way we can legally do this is through Spotify, exclusively.
