Many many many years in and it’s finally here – a Monkees episode of Two Pick Ten. And who better to join Craig than the host of the wonderful Mixology podcast – Mr. Frederick James French-Pounce. Coming from the same background of analyzing various versions of songs, Craig is baffled that there is someone who is into this silliness who is much younger than he is, and our guest brings a new twist to the Two Pick Ten series: picking which mix goes on the desert island compilation! A very pleasant conversation with a guest who is able to follow the rules of the island (we’re looking at you, “Mister” Brian Jacobs).Check out the prelude to this conversation over on Mixology!
