    In today's episode we discuss many things: Overdrive gears, the 1934 Telecommunications Act, Chad Allen. But one thing is more important than all the others. We made it to letter B!

    Episode 21: The Association - Insight Out

    I apologize in advance for this episode being 2 hours long and having some audio issues. But it was a lot of fun to record with Di again, and this time we discuss the rise of Rockism, band goals vs public expectations, and how the Beatles made serious music like Yellow Submarine.
