A lost classic

It's a shame this podcast isn't around anymore. The original format made for a great music podcast, and even the new format had its bright spots. RIP.

Where is the show?

Even though I preferred the old format better I still miss the show and hope they will reboot it. Thanks

Great poscast gone missing?

Havn't had an update since early november. This poscast is a great music news break to listen to at work. It cxovers a wide array of music with opinions from multiple people, not just one guy. I like the essentials section best, its not too long to bore the average listener and it reminds me of the great music outlet I had in music school. Please keep these poscasts coming. They are missed!
