Too Much of Not Enough: A Silverchair Podcast
A podcast recapping the albums of the Australian band Silverchair. Can you believe there's never been a podcast about Silverchair? I couldn't, so I made one. In each fortnightly episode, I’ll cover one release by the band with some special guest episodes interspersed along the way. Won’t you come with me to a place in a little town?
