We’re so happy you’ve found our site. While we’re primarily a podcast focusing on the memories we make as we discover new music, we want this space to expand upon the conversations we have with our guests. This is a chance to dig deep into why we love, hate, and appreciate certain songs.

That’s why our mission is to help slow things down a little, and explore how the power of music connects us with others, influences huge life decisions, and fans the flames of our unabashed obsessions.
