Ear Buds

Joey and Landon

Two lifelong best friends, two greatly different tastes in music. What could go wrong? Each week, comedians Joey Loboda and Landon Sheetz take turns choosing a favorite album for the other to listen to. They dive deep into the artist, why they were chosen, then do a track-by-track review. Will they inspire newfound fandom in each other, or just fight about what genre an album is for an hour? Each episode ends with the other person's pick for next week, so you can listen along with the guys. You just might find some new favorite music yourself!
