EP.116-The Ska Draft

This week’s episode is a host only episode. So listen as RJ and Matt talk about meeting in real life since April of 2020 and Gary tells jokes and funny stories. Also, Matt makes an announcement about the show. We spend most of the episode picking ska bands for our own ska festival and once a band is picked they can’t be picked again. We of course give you some ska news and our ska picks of the week.
