Description
Sharing Needles with Friends is a long-running podcast about music, passion, and the endless rabbit holes that connect the two. Since 2014, hosts Gene and Derek have explored the records that move us, the artists who inspire us, and the stories behind the sounds—mixing heartfelt analysis with sharp humor and off-the-cuff tangents. From deep dives into seminal albums to raw conversations about the role of music in our lives, SNWF is where vinyl obsession meets real friendship. Whether you're here for thoughtful reviews, bizarre side stories, or the occasional existential crisis mid-episode, you've found your people.
