EPISODE 015 - BIG SHINY TUNES (1995-2009) - TOO MUCH 4 MUCH (SEASON 1 EPILOGUE)
The Epilogue episode of Season 1, in which Chris and Jordan recap their thoughts on the entirety of the Big Shiny Tunes compilation series and lower the casket on the following topics:
Their favourite compilation and top 3 songs, their least favourite compilation and bottom 3 songs, what it felt like looking back on these years as a whole, what it was like submerging oneself into these songs during a global pandemic and, of course, the Washington Avenue Grill.
Big Shiny Podcast will return in a few months with something new. Enjoy your summer and vaccinations.
P.S. The ambient music sprinkled throughout comes from some sketches Graham Van Pelt uploaded to his youtube.
