Welcome to the very first episode of NFR podcast on your audio platforms for 2025.

It's always amazing doing these because back in 2023,

Lou, Nick and I kind of had a different vision for the way that we wanted to do our audio podcast

because we used to just kind of upload all of our YouTube material in audio format onto Spotify, Apple, et cetera.

But with this new approach, you know, with the recommendations, top 10 lists,

bringing you guys, you know, curated episodes, it feels like you guys really appreciate them.

We saw a spike in viewership in 2024, you guys coming in every single week asking us for

recommendations or giving us your two cents

in the Q&A.

So just from the entire NFR team, thank you for all the support over the past two years.

And we'll make 2025 a memorable one.

that it's confirmed.

I think what's always funny about doing these episodes is that the most anticipated albums

of the year maybe haven't even been announced yet

like we're so early on into the year

that it's really difficult to get an idea

of what's actually going to be dropping
