8. What's the Rush?

About this episode

In this episode, Mike attempts to convert Danny into a fan of the rock band Rush by exploring their history and music.

Is Rush a legendary rock band or just a Canadian addiction? In this week's episode Mike (our resident Canadian and Rush evangelist) attempts to convert his sceptical co-host from Rush ignoramus into a genuine appreciator, if not a fully signed-up cult member. Join us as Mike takes us through the Rush story and plays some of their 'iconic' tunes. Allegedly. Send us Fan Mail Support the show
