The Elder Emo Podcast

Welcome back! We've been away yet again for a long time. Between a host stepping down, a wedding to prepare for and have and all of the holidays we had to once again put the show on hold. Thanks for sticking with us! Today's episode is a bit longer and will serve as a wrap up of the last year as well as a season finale for this era of the Elder Emo Podcast. Many great things to come in 2024! Thank you all and enjoy!

Welcome back to The Elder Emo Hour! Long story short, we had a killer end of the year episode in the editing process when Brandon's computer decided to crash and toss all of those files into the abyss, effectively ruining Christmas. Until Daddy Santa brought us the gift of a last minute Elder Emo Hour featuring Zach and Brandon, as well as Serenity! On this special episode, we play A LOT of jams for you guys, including some Christmas songs. We have a brief recap of the talking points in our lost end of the year review. Hope you guys had a merry Christmas and have a happy New Year. Enjoy!
