Episode 378: Top Albums of 2018

Our Top 20 of 2018

Happy New Year freaks! Looks like we are going to kick off 2019 by being the last people to share our favorites of 2018. It was an interesting year, and we didn’t have any clear idea of what the list would look like, so you’ll probably be as surprised as we were.

To repeat what we share in this show, we will now be doing episodes every other week. Life has just gotten in the way a little and we can’t keep up with a weekly pace at this time. With this change, we hope to give more time to the albums we listen to and keep giving you quality reviews. Thank you for listening and keeping us going!
