I’ve developed a few meaningful friendships through podcasting, one of which has led to some really fun musical and podcasting collaborations. I’m talking about my buddy Kirk Ross, host of one of the best podcasts (not in the area, not in its genre, just one of the best…period): A TALK IN THE ATTIC.

In case you couldn’t tell, I think you should listen to A TALK IN THE ATTIC. For a little extra nudge, I’ll give you a great starter pack by way of a list of…
