Rec Me Podcast

Arts, Music, Music Commentary

Welcome to the Rec Me Podcast!

We are Jake and AJ.

Each week we discuss an Album that we have recommended to each other based on a theme, and then decide if it goes into our rotation!

There is also a playlist on Spotify that updates each week with the newest album recs. Search for 'get rec'd' in playlists so you can follow along, maybe discover something new to you, or revisit a deep cut from your past.

Are you hooked, or is it cooked?
