The 100 Albums Podcast
Inspired by a 100 Albums scratch-off poster, four college friends are on a quest to explore and review 100 iconic-ish albums. Each episode the 100 Albums Podcast Crew dive into the quirks, eccentricities, and legendary moments. They deliver a fresh, funny take on the albums that have shaped the musical landscape. The guys make music commentary as entertaining as it is ridiculous. New episodes drop on Tuesdays!
