Episode 30 – Bad Covers and Ben Folds

A Cover Conversation Episode of the Cosmic Geppetto Podcast. What more can you ask for? Shawn joins Brad to talk about bad versions of good songs. Then they talk about Ben Folds and some of the covers he’s done. We have a new theme-song. Don't worry, Brad didn't write it. It's called 'See See Are' and it is written, performed and produced by Shawn Reynolds. We are doing another Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Fundraiser.
