Russ you did such a good job on the Tegan and Sara episode!!
Apple Podcasts5jwhams49United States2 months ago - Sadly misogynistic
After the three part series of Madonna‘s early career, I decided to go back to listen to the first Madonna episode. It was terribly misogynistic and has not aged well. As I reflect on the last two years of episodes I have listened to, Louis has really kept this misogynistic critical voice through many of the episodes. The shows are really well researched but it is a shame many have such a misogynist bent.
Apple Podcasts3FOODSWINGSUnited States2 months ago - Madonna non singles list
I love the podcast! I would love for you to do another Madonna song draft rating with only songs that weren’t official singles !

Canada2 months ago - Great show
Really like the show, especially the episodes that are just Louie and Russ. I do wish (and this is probably more of an Apple Music thing) that I could see just the non subscriber episodes in my feed- it’s hard to try and go pick through the back catalogue when there’s so many subscriber only episodes.
