We're not sure how we haven't managed to do an episode on drinking songs yet, but better late than never! From debaucherous clergy to the Star-Spangled Banner, drinking songs have a long and somewhat sordid history. Pour yourself a drink and join in the fun with us.

As musicians, we tend to take it for granted that we can read music. But music notation didn't just magically appear one day. Pour a drink with us as we explore the history of music notation, with everything from ancient civilizations to a monk named Guido.

Valentine's Day is almost here. You've booked your dinner, picked a gift, and even chosen the perfect song to say how you feel. What could go wrong? Turns out, everything.

This week, we're exploring the least romantic love songs, so pour a drink and prepare for a cringefest of the best kind.

The Grammys. For such a popular award show, it's crazy how little we actually know about the inner workings. This week, we try and unpack this confusing-as-hell institution. A place where a huge group of powerful men make up the rules as they go along in their misogynistic nightmare. (Just like everything else ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Cover songs are like "the ripoff's" legitimate brother, and they fill a weird little niche in the music world. Sometimes they're a way of paying tribute to musicians you admire. Other times they turn out like a acoustic dumpster fire. This week, Heather and Chris talk through the good, the bad, the old, and the new of cover songs. Cheers!

How do you make a living in music? It's definitely doable with some talent and gumption. Heather and Chris pour some beers with a couple of four-legged guests (very well-behaved ones, we might add!) and explore all the different possible avenues for creating a career in the music business.

Earworms are musical moments that bury deep into our brains and won't get out. This week, Heather and Chris look at the science behind the sound phenomenon we love to hate, and sip whiskey with our newest team member Tony. Cheers!

What do Star Wars, The Ballad of Sweeney Todd, and Wagner's Ring Cycle have in common? They all make use of leitmotifs! Pour a beer and learn about this popular musical device that can be found in everything from opera to Hollywood blockbusters.

It's the end of the 2010's and we're going back through all the big musical trends of this last decade. Do you remember what was popular 10 years ago? Neither did we until this episode! Cheers to the new year with us as we take a trip down memory lane.

What do Taylor Swift and Johannes Brahms have in common? They both like to start shit everywhere they go. This week, Heather and Chris exchange Christmas beer and talk through some of the most famous beefs in music history.
