Hey everybody!  This is another segment in the "we were in a cult?" series here on the balanced male podcast.  I got to have a great conversation with another ex member of the ICOC, Myron on how he got involved with the ICOC and his departure from the ICOC and his views on if the ICOC was a cult.

EP 61 The Music That Made Us

What's up everyone!  This episode was a fun one.  I brought on a veteran to the show Morgan to spend some time just geeking out on music that we love.  We talked bands we loved, concerts that we loved, missing CDs and Tapes, and some of our guilty pleasure songs and bands.  It was one of those conversations where we could have gone on for hours and I feel like he and I barely scratched the surface.  We even made a playlist/soundtrack for it!  I hope that as you listen it brings nostalgia in your life as it did for both of us.  
You can check out the spotify we both created here:
