    The Aged Out Podcast is a highly recommended podcast for anyone interested in the world of marching percussion and drum corps. Hosted by Nick Angelis and Mike Fantini, this podcast offers insightful discussions not only about the activity itself but also about the people who are at the forefront of it. The interviews featured on this podcast are truly captivating and provide listeners with a unique perspective into the marching arts.

    One of the best aspects of The Aged Out Podcast is the level of insight that Nick and Mike bring to each episode. As experienced musicians and educators, they offer invaluable knowledge and expertise that can only come from years of involvement in the marching arts. Their discussions cover a wide range of topics, including technique, musicality, show design, and the challenges faced by performers and instructors alike.

They are able to connect with their interviewees on a personal level, allowing for more candid conversations that reveal intimate details about their experiences in the activity. This genuine rapport makes each episode engaging and enjoyable to listen to.

    However, one potential downside of this podcast is that it may cater more towards those already familiar with marching percussion or drum corps. While Nick and Mike do an excellent job of explaining certain terms or concepts for newcomers, some episodes may assume a certain level of prior knowledge. This could potentially alienate listeners who are just starting to explore this world or may not have any background in marching arts.

    In conclusion, The Aged Out Podcast is an exceptional resource for anyone interested in marching percussion or drum corps. With its insightful discussions, personable hosts, and high-caliber guests, this podcast offers a unique glimpse into the inner workings of the marching arts. Whether you are a seasoned performer, an aspiring musician, or simply a fan of the activity, this podcast is definitely worth subscribing to.
