  • Unimpressive Instant

    Just exhausting, baseless speculation and hypotheticals. Check out “all I want to do is talk about Madonna” for more thoughtful, balanced analysis.

    Buy Liberty’s new album! I did—to support and to enjoy her talent. Now you do it too.

  • Confessions 2

    There was so much nonsense in your pod re: confessions 2. There’s no way Madonna would do a tour that includes 12 dates or a 3 week residency. Madonna insists on rehearsing for months and the numbers wouldn’t work. Rehearsing would cost more than the shows would earn. One thing you didn’t discuss also, unless I’m mistaken is that Confessions was her last #1 pop album. I’m sure that’s part of the motivation… to have another # 1.

  • C.Ciccone's death

    While I have respect and understand that everyone grieves in their own way. Madonna has chosen publicly, which sadly is something Christopher had a very negative feeling about. He condemned her cemetery visit in Truth or Dare and you wonderful if she did it just to flex . She looks great, but at heart, she is no a nice person. It's sad

  • Excellent

    Love the pod but baffled that your interview with Desperately Seeking Susan director had no discussion of Madonna. No questions or stories about her—it was like “I’ll come on the Madonna podcast, but I won’t talk about Madonna.”
