Please Don’t Leave Spotify (with Matt Walsh)

This week on the Geoff and Whisp show on 108.9 The Hawk, things get even wilder! From Metallica midnight sales and memos about show introductions, Geoff and Whisp are then joined by Alexi Linkenborg (MATT WALSH) from Spotify, on a mission to keep their podcast on the platform. 

• Metallica Madness: Geoff and Whisp reminisce about buying Metallica’s Black Album at a midnight sale.
• The Memo: Geoff reveals a memo he sent to Whisp about show introductions.
• Spotify’s Secrets: Alexi from Spotify discusses the platform’s algorithm, genre merging, and background music.
• Richard Marx’s Culinary Explosions: A hilarious discussion about Richard Marx’s cooking and temper.
• Art Spart’s Birthday Disaster: Art Spart details the chaos caused by his scavenger hunt involving the Necronomicon and Cenobites.
• The Morning Zoo Phenomenon: Alexi explains why algorithms can't replicate the "Morning Zoo" format.

Plus, Celebrity Impressions! A virtual John Popper! And why does Bono owe Whisp ten-thousand dollars?
