Quick update guys. From now on we're only going to be on Spotify. The podcast is on a new trajectory. We're no longer doing interviews. We're taking music from various areas of pop culture and breaking it down for you. We figured it would be pretty cool to play actual music on the show. The only way we can legally do this is through Spotify, exclusively. 

We hope you understand.

As always, thank you for listening.

The pod is on life support. Issac is busy doing Crossfit and uploading douchy reels on Insta. Dalton is becoming a Hockey playing man. Issac doesn't know how to skate. Who would win a fight on the ice? 

Quick update on the busy lives of Issac and Dalton. They discuss Issac's recent interest in orchestral music. Does film music count as orchestral music? Both musicians have experience learning secondary instruments. They go over some of the benefits of taking on a new instrument, the challenges, and why you should be expanding your skillset.
