  • The rise and fall of Like a Virgin

    Loved food4thot. A podcast fran was apart of. Thought I’d give this podcast a try. Was an active listener when the podcast started but something shifted once Fran moved back to New York. I went from loving their takes on culture to finding myself annoyed by Frans narrow mindedness :(
