Maddy Smith joins us in the Roach Den today as we take a trip down the snowy, keg-filled nooks and crannies of a coupla Buffalo-bred memory lanes. It’s like sniffing a sharpie.

So sit back, relax, and feed your Tamagotchi while you listen to the smooth, sultry sounds of two Buffalo Beauties chop it up North Park style. As always, write in to the show @ JoshPotterShow@gmail.com with stories you want us to cover. ON THIS WEEK’...
