  • A good hang

    This show is just a good hang. I love their camaraderie and their insights. Even when the episode is about a song I don’t really know, I still want to give it a listen just for Diallo and LUXXURY’s banter.

  • One Song, Two Cuties

    I adore this podcast. I love hearing both of these guys and their very smart, original perspectives and each person’s personal experiences that have built those points of view. It’s so refreshing to hear Luxxury and Diallo be so honest and vulnerable with their deep love and curiosity about music and about one another. I’m utterly charmed by this show. Thank you both!!!! I look forward to Thursday :-)
