Welcome to the Take Note Podcast with Adrian Frye and Taylor Reese King! We will be talking about all things music, but we'll be focusing on modern music in particular. We're new at this, so there will be several "ums" and us talking too fast, so we apologize! Calvin Beddoe and Taylor Reese King got Take Note going before COVID-19 but they never really published much and so we're restarting the whole project again! All the conversations between Calvin and Taylor (Sorry, not Hobbes) will be available here as well! Thank you!
