If I Had My Druthers
If I Had My Druthers is a music-review podcast hosted by Radio Rick and DJ Tew 9. Each episode takes on a full album, going through it track by track and offering honest, unfiltered opinions. The conversation often drifts into nostalgic "remember when" stories, since the music naturally sparks memories, before the hosts get back on track. Albums are rated against the show's own "5 Druthers" scale, and a new review drops weekly.
