Connecting the Classics Podcast artwork

Connecting the Classics is a weekly competitive radio hour, in which hosts Lee Robinson and Will Hagle connect two classic albums using tangential music references, Kevin Bacon style. Each week, Lee picks an album and Will picks an album. They play songs from their chosen albums and discuss them, then weave webs using other songs and artists, resulting in six songs of separation (Kevin Bacon style). Points are awarded for good connections but the points don’t matter (Whose Line Is It Anyway style).
