Episode 10: Just Kidding, Lars
Summary: <p>Two listener questions take us an entire episode to answer... first, we compare Shane MacGowan of the Pogues to Ronnie Drew and Luke Kelly of the Dubliners. Then follows a ridiculously long discussion of our top five(ish) desert island discs.</p> <h3>References for this episode</h3> <ul> <li> <a href="https://youtu.be/uXVnmL1Kvmg" rel="nofollow">Leaving of Liverpool -
