Take This Pod and Shove It
Comedians Tyler Snodgrass and Danny Maupin are building the ultimate country music playlist one song a time. Each week the hosts research and discuss a different boot-stompin' country banger that they believe is so good it might convert a country music hater, often with the help of a comedian guest. And then the song of the week is added to their public playlist!
