Whether it's fantasy sports or fantasy card games (or real sports, I guess), drafting is an incredibly engaging way to enjoy something you love. Why not apply that to music? That was the idea returning guest Fin Coe had after being inspired by a Facebook post from Nora Seidman. They were joined by show favorite Ben Rathert to draft their top 5 Mountain Goats songs and talk about their choices, their love of John Darnielle and company, and more. If the Mountain Goats speak to you, you'll love this. If they don't, maybe they will now.

For complete songs, check out Nora's playlist.
