- I’ve found my people ❤️
I’m a DJ from Brighton, 🇬🇧 (home of the Freemasons, IYKYK 😉) I absolutely love this podcast. The hosts are so knowledgeable and just the right side of niche. It’s really refreshing to hear pop discussed in a way that values the production, campness and history in a fun and non dismissive way. Well done boys! If you ever want to do a U.K. special, hit me up! @djfifi_
