My fav music podcast

This shows is a couple of goofy guys who love Bonnaroo, and I adore it. It’s so fun hearing their perspective and stories and comparing them to my own.

As someone who has been attending since 2017 and even got engaged on the farm, this show is a can’t miss for me every week.

Slowly becoming unlistenable.

I’ve enjoyed this podcast for years, but every episode these days has turned into an origin story recap about the podcast, and reminiscing about how and why it started. That might work as a refresher every so often for new listeners, but every single episode it’s getting a little grating.
