What Am I Making PodcastWAIM Podcast #020 - Matt BerensonWhen my longtime friend and musical sherpa Todd Stonehouse handed me his copy of Secret Stars, the Greatest Underdogs Of The Rock n Roll Era, he grinned and said, “You are gonna love this.”Just looking at the ten bands listed on the cover, I knew I had found one of my new sacred texts.

We didn't help ourselves with all those missed chances, particularly in the first half, but that shambolic VAR decision that led to Paul Pogba's leveler set the tone for the rest of the game.
But there are still loads of positives to take from that 3-1 defeat as we head into to a huge Friday night clash with Leeds at Elland Road - a win there takes us back into 5th, a dr...2020-12-091h 55
