Great Concept, Even Better Podcast

I've listened to every episode of Sadness Town and it's been great. I learned about it after seeing host David Tveite do stand up in Leesburg, VA and I'm glad I did. Every one has songs they loved growing up that they're ashamed of now and Sadness Town is where you realize you're not alone with those bad songs. I love it, I listen to it, you should too.
