W Is For Washed Out
*Originally released April 26th 2016*
Washed Out may be one of the most intriguing stories of artistic discovery covered on the podcast. Steve and Doug look into the Georgia native's library aspirations, musical talents, and what the internet has done for the industry. Amor fati.
