Episode 127 - Fab 15 Songs of Summer

This week's episode sees Dave and me list our Fab 15 Songs of Summer! Fun, sun, sand, surfing, drinking, maybe a little reading when you need to recharge and everybody's like "come on Derek, everybody's going" but you're still like, "nah." Y'know. Summer! It's a fun episode and I think you'll dig it!

As always please feel free to e-mail me at db@derekbrink.com.

Basic Information About the Podcast

1. There may be some “strong” language. I speak the way I speak. I promise that I will try to avoid excessive profanity, but I can not guarantee that every podcast will be absolutely swear-word free. It is recommended that any listeners be 13+, due only to the potential of me using some "dirty" words.

2. There are likely to be spoilers in each podcast if I'm discussing something that has already aired. I assume that if you were interested, you'd have read/watched/listened to it by the time I'm posting about it...whatever "it" is.

3. Whenever possible, I’ll give you a preview of what I’m talking about from week to week, so you’ll know in advance if you’ll be bored. But I tend to go off topic.

4. Sometimes I’ll like the stuff I review. Sometimes I won’t. I will likely be fairly critical of some of the things I review. However, I will do my best to be fair. ACCURATE...but fair. If I absolutely hate something, I’ll let you know...but I will try not to just blindly blast something for the sake of it.

5. I’m going to try to take up enough time to make it WORTH your time. There’s nothing worse than settling in for someone’s podcast and then discovering that they only did 2 minutes. I’m going to try to keep it between 30-60 minutes each time.

6. It should be understood that I am not accountable for any comments made by any guest on the show. I reserve the right to edit any comments I find unacceptable in both recordings and written comments, but for the most part will leave any guest commentator's comments as in-tact as I can.

7. Each download will always be released ABSOLUTELY FREE OF CHARGE.

8. As of 2017, I do not have any sponsors and this podcast is a labor of love. Should any sponsorships or commercials appear, they will either be added by my web-host or a product that I have personally approved...but we're not there yet. If a webhost adds a commercial, it should not be assumed that I have endorsed the product.

9. Just have fun. This is supposed to be fun.
