Season 4 Episode 25: #FreshCuts Vol. 109

For the first time in a month, your host Burke Wasson is back, baby! Steve Strait, Travis Boots, and Bryan Mosby join Burke to count down our songs of the week from #FreshCuts Vol. 109. This episode is a lot of fun, with a recurring theme of Steve being at odds with his daughter on music. Travis and Mosby also speculate on a reason for an unfortunate trend that's happened on The Midlife Critics private group Facebook page. Also, we find out why there have been so many Bruce Hornsby songs recently in #FreshCuts. This one is more fun than usual with rapidfire commentary. Carve out 2 hours and play it on normal speed, or you might miss the comedic timing.
