  • An inspired journey

    Love this podcast! When I started listening I picked a couple of shows where I kind of knew the guest but as I listened more it really didn’t matter who the guest was. The direction of linking music to personal stories makes every episode interesting and enjoyable. I have heard some songs that are new favorites as well as some that I can’t stand but the stories and personal connection make it all awesome! Keep up the great work
