    Episode 17: A Long Expected Party

    Welcome back to the Desert Tones podcast. Dylan, Joey, and Jared share news of their world over their hiatus, what they have been up to, things that have kept them occupied, and a variety of other topics including (but not limited to) Nosferatu (2024), charli xcx, Opeth, the Mike Kerr signature, Suhr, Magic the Gathering, and more!
