I love everything about this. Community is so important and I can feel it through this podcast. Learning about peoples experiences is such a treat.
Kathleen is an incredible interviewer and instead of just asking questions she has really interesting conversations with her guests. You can tell that both she and her guest have carefully prepared for the show and there’s a level of quality and love of rock ‘n’ roll in this podcast that is lacking in so many other others. I hope she makes another 100 episodes. I would listen to every single one of them.
Lasted 10 minutes before I had to turn it off. Let Amy speak and shut up about yourself!
♥️🎸🤘🏼
