  • What a happy accident

    Forget how I stumbled across this pod, but I’m another sad-music queen. I’ve found my people! Keep up the great interviews, please. (Tiny quibble: It’s also okay to talk a little slower sometimes, leave some space between big thoughts. Just like these artists sometimes do!)

  • Very disappointing artist list

    I LOVE sad songs and so when I saw this is was like YES! Then I saw the artists. I listen to ZERO. Can u guys do anything not recent?! There are SO many better sad songs than this and plenty of those artists are alive to talk about them.
