We've made it...again

Happy 100! If you're new to the show or are a returning listener, thank you. To celebrate, we've brought on special guest, Brandon, to host a two-hour deluxe march madness style Bonnaroo bracket. We're chatting our favorite moments of Bonnaroo, pitted between each other with only one moment reigning supreme. 

We're so back...

After years of anticipation, Noah has finally dropped new material. We're pretty excited at RooHamm HQ and wanted to pass along our thoughts on the album and how it impacts one of our 2026 headliners.

Schedule day is upon us and so begins the painful task of planning out our Bonnaroo 2026 route. Hear who is cut, who will be a game time decision and who we can't afford to miss.
