Birch 881 Episodes Aug 24, 2026

Friends make a pact to listen and discuss every album from the Robert Dimery book, 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Each episode provides a brief background, music clips, and is recorded in a basement tiki bar so they can make fun of themselves in ten years.
