Episode #801
Last week we hit a milestone with our 800th episode, and that seemed like time to pause for some reflection. Every once in a while I start to wonder which artists, albums, and songs we play the most, so I do some highly unscientific calculations and come up with some interesting results. Today’s show looks back at some of our most popular songs, albums, and artists.
Watch for a post with the actual leaderboard lists!
This one seemed like so much fun that we’re calling it another of those “standby” episodes that you might hear again sometime when we can’t make it in live and don’t have a new show recorded. It’s stacked with favourites, so we’re pretty sure you won’t mind if it comes up again.
