About this podcast
We are going through the top 500 Albums according to Rolling Stone magazine. We talk about each album and we also give dating advice to our single friend. So far the advice has been bad enough that we are still recording on Friday nights. Call and leave a message on the Beck Line. 802-277-BECK. We just want to be famous. Is that so much to ask?
