    Love this pod-I am learning so much about music and why we love it! Listened to the feedback episode I thought what band mate Mark S. was saying… how about a reunion short album entitled “Things Left Unsaid…” I would buy!

  • Unexpectedly good

    I don’t know how the house do it, but the turn from music to psychology and back to music is so good and totally something I was not expecting.

    The Dua Lipa episode was great. I'd loved the discussion about personality types. Looking forward to more mailbag episodes.
