  • Process appreciated and respected!

    I’ve enjoyed listening to the show, especially the 90s hip hop and Destiny’s Child episodes. The song selection process is thoughtful and well-explained. Deremy and Thomas do their research, acknowledge their biases, and come up with essential lists that make sense. Now…Beyonce’s list? We need to talk before that happens ;-). Great listen!
