On this episode of the Queen Venerator podcast, we discuss the 1999 album Homb by the post-rock/folk/avant-garde band Cerberus Shoal. We also read some poetry from 1893, examine underwater hazards, and determine where this unsung gem belongs in the pantheon of great nineties albums.

It's Black Friday, so what better way to distract from your abject misery than another QV Roundup show.

On this episode, we discuss two amazing compilation albums from 2021: Dark Entries Records' Back Up: Mexican Tecno Pop 1980-1989 and Analog Africa's Cameroon Garage Funk, the current state of Brad's beloved Cleveland Browns (spoiler: not great), and the absolutely titanic wrestling podcasts discussing the PWO's 2016 Greatest Wrestler Ever Project.

A little bit of something for everyone on this one.
