Episode 8 – #43 – There Are Worse Places to Live

Welcome to Fifty by Two, a podcast about music where two friends with very different tastes count down their top fifty albums.

This episode, the hosts come in undercooked and end up discussing Waterloo Station, Eurovision, misplaced faeces (not a typo), and Christmas music. As well as two albums, of course.
