  • love this

    As someone who couldn't pick Taylor Swift from Billie Elish in a supermarket playlist - I am SO sorry to hear Stop Everything is finishing. I found immense value in this program. It educated me and opened my mind to new cultural experiences.

    Ben Law was ... Ben Law, but Beverly Wang was the BOMB! She's the presenter/producer/everyperson-on-the-street/ philosopher/ pop-culture expert we want in our ears - regularly. Look forward to what they do next. 💋
