Kissing Lips and Breaking Hearts: A U2 -ish Podcast with the Garden Tarts

A U2ish podcast for U2 fans, casual and die-hard.

We are two best friends discussing what we love the most: U2, whiskey, politics, travel and the ridiculous adventures we've had together over three decades of friendship. In a fan world full of collectibles, statistics and academia, Jenny and Hillary bring irreverence to the otherwise serious fandom.
Come hang out with the cheeky but astute Garden Tarts. Every Wednesday, a new episode will bring you U2 news, fun facts, album reviews, tour highlights and random musings.
