The Greatest Song Ever Sung (Poorly)
By The Greatest Song Ever Sung (Poorly)
The podcast that takes karaoke exactly as seriously as it should be taken.
Every episode, hosts Adam Wainwright and Ed Cunard discuss an aspect of karaoke or music and play a short round of trivia on that topic, where one of them challenges the other with five questions related to the topic, along with an Impossible Bonus question.
Then, they're joined by someone (karaoke hosts and singers, musicians, actors, comedians, authors) with a connection to that topic—and feature that guest singing karaoke when possible.
