Ridiculous Rock Record Reviews
A podcast in which a group of music fans picks a rock album (anything from soft rock to hard rock to heavy metal) and spends the episode talking about it and reviewing it. Informative, opinionated, and occasionally funny, the show highlights our genuine love (or hate) for the music discussed. Frequently guests ("co-pilots") co-host the show with with our regular rotating panel. Rock on!
