S 3 E40: #FreshCuts Vol. 80 (with new features!)

from The Midlife Critics Podcast · host The Midlife Critics

This episode makes history, being the first to preview two future #FreshCuts nominated for Vol. 81. But before that, your host Burke Wasson is joined by Wellington Davis, Steve Strait, and Bryan Mosby to get into our #FreshCuts countdown from a raucous Vol. 80. There was a lot more metal than typical. Also some deep punk talk. And some controversy over a certain #FreshCut being included. This episode is fun, deep, and highly entertaining. Don't play this one on 1.5 speed. It's meticulously assembled, and you don't want to ruin the mood of the two future #FreshCuts that will be in Vol 81. Standings and playlists will post Friday.
