Thoroughly enjoyed this episode! Their friendship & rapport shone thru their compelling discussions.
Mr. Heilmann has been around for a long time, but I keep having to give him another tip of the hat for insights I didn’t realize he had. True journalist of the old school.
The greatest festival set ever? Ugh
Why am I listening to a meta image rehab commercial? Unfortunately I am taking only action I can and unsubscribing from this channel.
