    The Monthly Mixdown

    So you want a Kanye episode? We recorded one. It was really bad, You don't want to hear it. This isn't some Spongebob lost episode situation. Instead, we are just going to be lazy and talk about some albums we've been enjoying. Also the audio on Isaac's voice is really bad. If you want a better podcast, make one yourself.
