Audio File Podcast: Year-End 2014

We’ve just revealed our Top 50 Songs of 2014, and our Top 50 Albums of 2014, and to wrap up all of the year-end fun, we’re tackling the Best of 2014 in our year-end Audio File podcast. Instead of simply tackling our favorite records of the year in order, we broke it up into different categories, including Second Best Hip-Hop Album of the Year, Best Opening Track, Best New Band, Best EP and Best Album from an Established Artist. So, spend 35 minutes with us as we talk about the music that we couldn’t stop listening to this year. Listen below or at Soundcloud, or subscribe to the Audio File Podcast at iTunes.
