This is a sound experience with songs and discussion. You'll dig it. Every week, we pick songs most of us haven't heard. Out of a record 49 submissions, we have our Songs of the Week with the most votes. Burke Wasson has plenty to talk about with Travis Boots, Wellington Davis, and Nathan Ferrell, who ends the episode sharing his experience as a clown at Long John Silver's in 1998. Dig it. Find The Midlife Critics on Facebook private groups. Chances are I'll let you in.
