It'll make for a more amusing listen if you don't have deep inside knowledge of music retail. If you are in music retail it's not so disguised that you maybe can't figure out the companies discussed. Y'know, MEGACORP!? I also took the opportunity to add some spooky sounds since this is episode that is most current for Halloween. Heck, you may even figure out your own side story to go along with those sounds. Oh yeah, so we ta...
