Essential Albums

Essential Albums Podcast, where three guys from ‘85 have a conversation about some of the biggest albums ever and forgotten favourites from yester-year. We’ll dive into an album’s place in culture, discuss its merits, and decide if a record holds up and is worth your time. Of course we get into a lot more than that, so join longtime friends Ryan, Gordon, and Enis, in reliving some of the classics and diving into our new favorite albums.

Episode 32: Britney Spears - In the Zone

We here at the EAP think it's unconscionable what is happening to one of the most successful pop stars of our time. Britney has the right to choose if and when she wants to rehearse/record/tour, and she has the right to choose WHO WORKS FOR HER. Mental health is a complicated subject, but the answer can never be slavery. Get in the zone with the EAP and icon Britney Spear's 4th studio album.    #freebritney #britneyspears #inthezone #podcastbroadcast #podcast​​​​​ #musicreview​​​​​    follow on Instagram: @theessentialalbumspodcast https://linktr.ee/theessentialalbumspodcast
