After 270+ episodes, and when you think nothing could go wrong in the AGES OF ROCK PODCAST world, it has happened:
THE AGES OF ROCK PODCAST TAKEOVER! 😱
Bill, Al, and Dennis have become victims of an invasion of the podcast snatchers! Your favorite “Crotchety Old Bastards” have been infiltrated by their least-expected perpetrators - THEIR OWN LISTENERS!!! Personal spaces will be invaded, pot-shots will be taken, and possibly a fetish or two will be exposed!
The infiltrators even present their top 5 most overplayed, burned out, and hated radio tracks. What songs will Bryan state have exceeded their life expectancy? What song has run its course in Lifetime KISS Fan David (not Dennis)’s opinion? What hot take does Bill throw down that will enrage a regular AoRP host? No matter if you’re from California, Ohio, or Tennessee, there’s a little something for everyone here.
