Guest: Ben from Ukulele Roadtrips

Hosts: Stuart Yoshida, Doug Brown

This could be the start of a Bromance as we welcome back Ben from Ukulele Roadtrips to have another Nice-olation podcast on ukuleles and the Pandemic. It soon goes off the rails as we bounce from Batman tee-shirts, to Swedes, to GNUF, and to a box of ukuleles falling the stairs, and that’s just in first 15 minutes. You might just have to watch this one on YouTube. So grab your favorite drink, so back and enjoy another episode… of the OokTown Podcast.
