The Last Whirl

1h 13m · Drop the Needle · 10 Oct 04:00

Earlier this year, we returned with a brand-new co-host, a renewed purpose, and the excitement of getting together again... only to put the entire series to bed for good.

In other words, this is our final-final, last-ever, we-swear-it's-over series finale. But this isn't a sad occasion. That's why this isn't an episode so much as a celebration that took almost 3 months to put together. It's a retrospective that pulls from 80 episodes to distill years of "Drop the Needle" down into one hour.

If you've been with us since the beginning in 2016 or if this is your first-ever listen, thank you so much. As always, we hope this helps someone out there.

Love,
Paul, Sean, Rikki & Mike
