Stop saying Patre-own
Since you say it 6 times an episode. It’s —on like off/on.
Great show but there should be an "Explicit" version of podcast
I realize that Sound Opinions is a radio show that needs to follow the rules of the FCC, thus bleeping out profanity. But they should provide an Explicit version of the podcast so adult music fans who aren't easily offended, can listen to the included songs the way the artists intended!
Also, they often repost past episodes without marking them as "rebroadcasts". For instance, "Give the Drummer Some" has been reposted twice. It's not a major issue, but it would be helpful to tag these episodes and list the original air date. Typically, I can tell by the hosts' higher-pitched voices, lol!
