No Redeeming Qualities

It started as a passion project recorded on a lap top microphone as an excuse for two friends to hang out - and turned into an entire operation involving fully scripted material, live shows, original music, sponsorships, and relationships with dozens of content creators. What a ride - and none of it would have been possible without you, the listeners, and all your support over the years. Bob and Zipp are extremely grateful and feel blessed that NRQ was able to achieve what it did. Thanks for everything.
