Like a book club for music nerds, Dan Gordon and Maia Bilyk take a deep dive through a different album each week. Between the nostalgic and brand new, broken down by the artist themselves.

Recorded and broadcasted on the stolen land of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge their ongoing struggle. Sovereignty was never ceded.
