Obsessed with this podcast. The Depeche Mode eps have me chills.
Apple Podcasts5NatashaMC!United States2 months ago - Constant “Babe”
I am very interested in the content of the Madonna episode but the number of times she says babe seems like she is playing a practical joke on the reader. It’s so often it’s distracting. She seems like a great researcher, but she would really benefit from working on her communication if audio is going to be her medium. I don’t think this is a secist comment as I mostly listen to podcasts by women and they are either not saying it or getting it edited out.
Apple Podcasts1LuzzyGuzzyUnited States2 months ago - Great podcast, especially the Madonna episodes.
Enjoying the Madonna episodes and being a music fanatic, I look forward to listening the previous episodes. Found you via Every Outfit. Also, Fluevog does still make the shoe in Truth or Dare, it is called the Munster. They reissue periodically in various colourways. The black comes back and is online now sizes 6-12. I am an avid collector.
Apple Podcasts5WestGhentUnited States2 months ago - Goddamn gorgeous beautiful podcast
Screw all the haters. This is one of the best most informative music podcast out there. Take your hate to Joe Rogan‘s podcast and leave Yasi be!
