First podcast I started regularly listening to (and continue to listen to)
I absolutely love this podcast. It’s so interesting and the way you guys tell the stories is just awesome. I love both of your voices. I could listen all day, and do sometimes. I’m going to have to start going back in years to find more. I just started listening at the beginning of this year so soon I’ll be digging up the sysk time capsule episodes I guess 😁
good.
I watched the old episodes from when I lived in Hawaii. It was great to hear a podcast about the late great Don Cornelius and how he got started. Love that old school R&B music! His son, Tony, hosts a yearly Soul Train cruise out of Fort Lauderdale to the Caribbean.
I haven’t listened yet (just ads so far) no matter how the podcast goes/ thank you for discussing PPD. More people need to be aware and understand it!!! Thank you so much.
