Insightful and important!!!
I’ve been meaning to start listening to this fabulous podcast series for at least a year, and just listened to the first 2 episodes this afternoon - the interviews are excellent - personable, friendly, articulate and passionate women talking about their art, interspersed with fantastic, diverse music. What more could one want?! Thank you, LtL <3
