Experts. People who were there, who shared a cab with Jarvis Cocker, friends who took photos of Kurt Cobain, people in the scenes at the time, remembering, reminiscing, revealing. So good to have Spotify playlists to go with too. Well researched and always revealing something is not discovered before. Thank you!
This pod is amazing!!
Rest of the bands are horrible
I have listened to several episodes now and am totally hooked. She picks many bands I love and her passion and knowledge for grunge nuggets keeps me coming back. Keep up the great work. I would love to have a beer with Yasi and just talk music.
This pod has all my favorite things: music, goss, tea, and witty commentary. I'm in [extremely respectful] love.
