But rather than just picking our favorites, we each approach the challenge uniquely, considering which albums we would be most devastated to never hear again. The result? A conversation filled with passion, nostalgia, and a mix of classic and experimental sounds. Along the way, we also touch on bad movie nights, tabletop gaming, the wild world of Mahjong, and the struggle of tackling massive fantasy novels. Tune in for an engaging discussion about the music that shapes us and the unexpected paths our cultural obsessions take.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/3-7NX9uIL8RD1xA_7xTb80V-108Lf3xuEMQhLzvEbRA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lZGY0/NzA4M2FmM2Q3Yjg4/NDczMzkzMTA2NTJk/NmQ1ZS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
