About this episode

Miguel explores his desire to be more intentional about music listening while grappling with the existence of a band that may not be real.

Miguel wants to get off Spotify to be more deliberate about how he listens to music. But one of his favorite bands doesn't sell any albums, they don't perform live , and they may not even exist.
