For the first Half-Pints, Whole-Notes podcast of 2015, Rebecca Ruiz and Josh Wodarz talk about the albums of 2015 that they couldn't live without. Sure, you may have read Best Of-lists, where people ranked what the best albums were, but sometimes those choices are not necessarily telling you what people were listening to on a day to day basis. No, in this episode they looked back to see what albums they continued to listen to throughout the year. Plus beers from New Glarus and Stone Brewing.
