This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This is a band that we mentioned before on the show and one that both hosts are very familiar with. We wanted to talk in-depth with another fellow podcaster who’s a fan and intimately aware of the Twin City scene that came from, so enter Bakko! Do yourself a favor and check them out!
