The Better Band Podcast

TLDL (Too Long Didn't Listen): I'm shuttering the podcast, even though I didn't go through EVERY album, soundtrack, single, and b-side. It's a huge bummer, but I just don't have the time anymore… This isn't a total Irish Goodbye, though, because I'll still hang out in the Facebook community, and I'm also starting up a Substack which will be the new home for the Better Band Podcast archive (and any new surprises I might have in store)... Thanks so much for listening everyone! I still have two more episodes to release.Substack: https://brandenp.substack.com Pearl Jam Podcast Community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/606225600228342/ Podcast encoded with Forecast by Overcast (https://overcast.fm/) Podcast feed & host via RSS.Com (https://rss.com/) The Better Band Podcast is produced by Branden Palomo, and published using a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 License.
