Fifty by Two

Episode 20.5 – Live Albums Special – Doors to Other Places

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

A break from the countdown for another special: live albums are excluded from the series-proper, but we pick one each to make each other listen to and talk about.

Did you know? We are also available on Spotify, Amazon, Deezer, and other places? If you listen to podcasts elsewhere and can’t find us, let us know in the comments and we’ll see what we can do.
