This is a “Must Listen To” addition to your podcast lineup!
I’ve been following Elizabeth’s work on X for a while now and was fired up to see she was interviewing GP here. Fantastic conversation…not surprising that she was well researched and cool that she’s such an obvious fan of his work. Really got a ton of great info and easy to see his wit and charm.Thanks for a great podcast, stoked to follow her here as well.
It is candidly unfair how well-suited Elizabeth is for this. Who knew music podcasts weren’t required to be hosted by middle-aged white guys?
Elizabeth is such a great host — thoughtful, funny, engaging. Cannot wait for more interviews!! Love everything Southwest Review puts out. They do it RIGHT
