- Rosalia and everything
I’m obsessed. It brings me so much joy listening to two amazing souls talk about their lives and passions. I am trying to leave a voice note after listening to Rosalia’s album as I am equally obsessed and in awe. Thank you! From Brisbane Australia .

This podcast single handedly got me through a genuinely petrifying bout of food poisoning in Rome. I was there on my tod and losing my tiny mind, and having this on felt like having two funny mates also hanging out in bed with me for 15 hours straight. Can’t thank you enough for the lols
