We’re re-airing some of our favorite episodes from the Commonwealth. This conversation was recorded in December of 2019. John Rood first connected with The Commonwealth host Nick Castner in 2017 when he was Nick was a senior in college. Two years later, Rood helped Nick and Alec McChesney, creators of the podcast, choose the name The Commonwealth for the podcast. John has since assisted in gathering guests for the show, and he appears on this episode to tell that story.

Ashley, Hunter, and Nick discuss the musicians who could sell 90,000 concert tickets in Lincoln, Nebraska. They also react to misinformation about the vaccine and share a major update to the show. Enter to win tickets to Sweetstock this weekend at HurrdatMedia.com/Commonwealth.
