Y’all—Thank you so much for the response to the launch of Season 3! For a small podcast that’s just three guys with no budget doing it in our free time for the shared love of this band, 200 downloads in the first 24 hours is huge. The support means a lot.

Can’t wait to share the rest of the season with you!

Joel was traveling a bit last week on a budget airline (who shall remain nameless) so it was a little challenging to work on editing Season 3, but look at that commitment!

Thanks for your patience and sticking with us!

What’s this? A new uswithoutThem episode??
