24. Is Music Diversity Actually Declining?

September 21, 2026 · 1 hr 7 min

23. The Music Of Brad Mehldau

September 7, 2026 · 1 hr 3 min

Mark Baynes and Danny McCrum used to play in bands together, until a handful of misunderstandings and a disagreement about a hat ended it. No bad blood, just a parting of ways that's lasted exactly twenty years. Since then, both of them…
22. Music Trivia 2

August 31, 2026 · 1 hr 17 min

Loosely nicknamed 'Mike's Revenge', the guys return for round two of Music Trivia. This is the game that reveals just how unqualified our two hosts are to run a music podcast. Listen to them hesitate and struggle to find incredibly obvious…
