Travis Pepper: Mentoring A Moron

Have you ever felt like a moron? Because we do a lot of the time. That is why we decided to sort it out by recommending each other books, albums, documentaries, podcasts, and anything in between. We figure that if we can improve, anyone can! Join Travis Pepper (James Riches) and Podcast Moron (Luke Pitkin) as each week the two recommend new things for the other to check out and discuss a week later while trying to sound as intellectual as possible. Spoiler, it doesn't always work. We would love for you to get involved with our ambitious journey by sharing in our learning, providing your recommendations, or simply by laughing along each week. So join us while we attempt to mentor a moron.
