  • A bit of lovely for everyone

    My favorite thing about this podcast was to hear how music impacts and influences each of us in a very significant way. The diverse voices interviewed anchor their love for Joni in their unique way. I was fortunate enough to be in the audience for one of the shows discussions and couldn’t wait to hear the rest of the artists stories.

    The Road To Joni is excellent, Carmel’s interviews peel back the many layers of Joni Mitchell, her work, and her impact on other artists. This podcast made my appreciat... more
