Pop punk and pizza
Such an amazing podcast. Loved hearing ep. 149 about Tom higgenson (million miler) from humans were here.
Great Podcast
This is an awesome podcast to listen to on your drive to work. Check out episode #149 with Tom Higgenson, the front man of Plain White T’s. He has started a record label called Humans Were Here and is signing great new artists like Million Miler, a synth-pop solo artist. Who is Million Miler? Listen to find out.
