New podcast live! Enjoy this explanation of Mike Posner's "I Took a Pill in Ibiza." I think you guys will love this song (if you don't already), and I know I did.

The songs about fame, drugs, money, and more. "I Took a Pill in Ibiza" is an incredibly deep song (especially for a pop song), and it's also going to make you fall in love with EDM even more.

Enjoy!
