FANTASY BAND DRAFT

In Episode 91 of The Morgan You Know podcast, Rod, Kate, Matt Record, Melissa Leary, and newcomer Dax Storm (yes, that’s his real name) created their versions of the best five piece band in an epic fantasy draft.

In each round, participants were asked to select a member of their band. It did not matter the order in which guests drafted their band members, only that they filled the roles of lead singer, lead guitarist, bassist, drummer, and keyboardist (or wildcard) by the end of the draft. The draft order was pre-selected at random by producer Jim Jamriska.
