Welcome to the latest episode of 53:5 - The Official Stryper Podcast for November 2023! This show is a real special one. inspired by my friend Debbie! This one was specifically designed for those friends of ours who don't know Stryper and don't understand why we love them so much! The music was picked by over 300 Stryper fans as the best songs for a newbie (maybe, like yourself) to enjoy and really understand what Stryper is all about! In this episode we pick the best song that exemplifies what Stryper is all about, the band's best ballad (everyone loves a great ballad, their best Frontiers era (or newer) song, the best Stryper rocker, and the best cover song Stryper has recorded! Enjoy this show, tell a friend and keep supporting Michael, Oz, Perry and Robert! Also, this was by far the most fun I ever had putting this show together and think it is the best episode of 53:5 - The Official Podcast, ever! Plus.... bonus track at no additional cost hidden at the end of the episode, so you need to listen to ALL of it! - enjoy, Matman ([email protected])
