Suburban Muse
Hosts AP and Boo cover an eclectic range of topics, including "Well, that didn't age well...", family dinners, beer/alcohol reviews, and pretty much whatever we decide is worthy enough to listen to on the drive home. We're a left-leaning suburban family in middle America, which is sometimes an interesting take by itself!
