The Album Argument

Music EN ↓ 159 episodes

We’re two dads, fellow educators, and musicians who like to get together and listen to music. Before each episode, we’ll share an album with the other and determine the best and worst song on the album. Each episode will be our live reactions to our picks. Sometimes we might agree and sometimes we’ll have an album argument.
