Join Maria and Drake, two music-loving millennials living in Iowa with two extremely different musical tastes, as they seek to go into each other's worlds. We're aiming to have fun discussion, healthy banter and occasional hot-takes that might make you wanna rewind and listen again to make sure you heard us clearly. Don't worry, you did. Let's have fun exploring different albums, with a different theme, every week!

Episodes

Hi friends! This week, we're talking about specific albums in certain artists' discographies that we think could use more love, for one reason or another. Not to be confused with our underrated album episode, these are just albums we feel are fantastic standouts in our respective artist's catalogs and we invite you to check them out! Drake is unpacking "Lasers", the third studio album from Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco and Maria is chatting about "Snakes & Arrows", the 18th studio project from Canadian rock band Rush. Join us for our usual riveting commentary, as well as asking the hard-hitting questions you've come to know and love.

Hey friends! Drake is back from the great beyond this week, let us rejoice. Today, we're talking about our favorite EPs, including "A Wisp in the Atlantic" by Swedish melodic death metal band Soilwork and "lockdown sessions" by Machine Gun Kelly. Tune in to hear us chat about our thoughts on those, including some fun new words that Drake gets to add to his vocabulary as our resident and favorite 70-year-old man.

Hey y'all! From our conversation with our friend Matt, we bring you a fun little snippet that didn't quite make it into our initial episode with him. We're talking about some of the things he hates, with a dash of things he doesn't mind. He was even in a cover band! We hope you enjoy this bonus content and we'll catch you next week for another full-sized episode of shenanigans. Opening disclaimer courtesy of LuckyBoyCharm on Fiverr!

Hey y'all! With another week in the books, we're a bit sleepy and unhinged. Join us, will you? We're talking about bands and their respective breakout albums. These projects really put them on the map and solidified them as the forefront of their genre. Maria will be talking "Colors" from prog metal band Between the Buried and Me while Drake is chatting about "Stankonia" by hip hop duo Outkast. Opening disclaimer courtesy of LuckyBoyCharm on Fiverr!

That's right! Another guest spot this week and we couldn't be more stoked to welcome our friend (and yours) Matt Mayday to the pod. In what's definitely our most unhinged episode yet, we talk about Depeche Mode, their 1990 album "Violator" and about 72 other things because we can't stay on topic to save our lives. We hope you enjoy the ride! (And also, you didn't hear it from us -- but keep your ears peeled for some fun bonus content that came from this conversation in the future, too.)

Happy Friday! Today's Opposite Day here on the pod and we're looking to get WACKY. Think...Freaky Friday with Lindsey Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, but with 95% less of a clue of what's actually going on. Maria's giving out a rock album, Drake had a rap album to share, pure madness! Tune in and enjoy while Maria talks about hip-hop instrumentalist duo Black Violin's solo self-titled project ... and Drake doesn't talk about Puddle of Mudd.
