Welcome To The Suburbs
Ride along in this funny podcast with two great friends on a road trip through life as they navigate ridiculous detours, side trips and pop culture experiences.
Their humor and undeniable chemistry comes from a two decade friendship, infused with Greg’s experience as a touring comic and sketch comedy writer and Andy’s career as an audio engineer for acts as diverse as John Mellencamp, Aerosmith, and Bob and Tom.
Laughter suppled, snacks not included.
