  • Best Music Podcast Ever

    The sole reason for sharing this podcast is to show what artists are like off of the stage, and this is by far my favorite podcast because of it. I literally wait for a new episode each week and constantly dread finishing that week’s episode, but it’s okay because there’s always another one coming soon! If you’re a person who loves music and the people who make it, this is your type of podcast.
