Ep13: Music-Preneur Spotlight: Sub-Radio Feb 21, 2018

The other day I sat down with four of the six members of the DC-based pop-rock group Sub-radio. As the composers of this podcast's theme music I felt it was only right for them to be my first guests. We discussed everything from social media assignments to time-traveling.
