What the Riff?!?

2020 — April: Episode 100 “Just the WTR Guys”

Episode Summary

What do you do when you celebrate your 100th podcast episode, but you have to be socially-distanced? You Zoom it. And you make it a little different. We’ve been doing this for two years, and thought you might enjoy learning a little bit about the voices behind What the Riff?!? — so this is an interview (with no music). There is also a video you can find on Rob's YouTube channel. Link is below.
