Great great kadreat
Idk what I’d do without this podcast
My monthly dose of cool kindness for sure
Thanks for all you do
It is so refreshing to hear these conversations, not only for the discussion, but it is obvious one of the main concerns is given a chance to the underdogs of music and art . We all know the famous , and it’s great to hear about their process and see them in s comfortable place when speaking with Rain Phoenix, but you can really see their sensitivities when they “launch” a new unknown artist , and pay it forward…
I so love this podcast! Every time I am pleasantly surprised by getting an inside peek into the lives of artist that I am inspired by. The conversations are seemingly effortless and authentic, making for a great listen. Highly recommend.
The thing I like about this podcast is it’s a conversation that’s NOT about what everyone else is asking these artists in interviews. The host seems more concerned with what drives their creative, and how are they going to pay it forward. Refreshing!
