How to Thank Your Mom and All the Mother Figures in Your Life

This week’s episode is about one of the most polarising bands of all time, The Shaggs! They've been described as both the best and the worst band of all time and have had many big name fans over the years such as Kurt Cobain and Frank Zappa. Their origin story is one of the least conventional we've come across, tune in to hear the story!

This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 04:58 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
