About

Ryan Stroud and Jeremy Dudman are lifelong friends turned dads, music educators, and musicians who like to get together and listen to music.

Before each episode, we’ll share an album with the other and determine the best and worst song on the album. Each episode will be our live reactions to our picks. Sometimes we might agree and sometimes we’ll have an album argument.

A new episode is available every other Monday.

Please support the artists discussed on this podcast by purchasing and streaming their music wherever you pay for music!
