Only Three Lads - Classic Alternative Music Podcast
@onlythreelads.bsky.social
https://linktr.ee/onlythreelads - Love classic alternative music of the ‘70s, ‘80s & ‘90s? Hosts Uncle Gregg & Brett Vargo are joined by a variety of “Third Lads” who helped shape - or were shaped by - this music, and have a whole lotta fun!
For #300, we would love to get audio messages to play. A 30-60 cell phone voice memo works fine! If you are a musician or any other sort of creator, plug what you have going on! Plz DM or email: onlythreelads(at)http://gmail.com by Oct 15th. Much gratitude!
