        <itunes:summary>Zack &amp; Mel Music podcast is a biweekly podcast (although they often go on hiatus) hosted by two young men who argued about the music they listened to for about two years before they decided to start this podcast. The hosts often, at length, engage in meaningful music conversations. Other times they host their friends (and local musicians) to chop it off on relevant topics while roasting each other.
