Customer Reviews
Perfect to listen to in the Studio!
The value I receive by the wisdom of the guests and creative topics is bar none. Real talk with the feminist perspective in mind mixed with Caribbean spice on culture. As an avid pod consumer I have so much love for this show. It’s. About. Time.
Let’s here from director Perry Miotto (snotty nose Rez kids) and get a fresh First Nations perspective
Enjoyed the Discussion
I enjoyed the discussions with Benny Boom as I grew up in the “Music Video” era.
Looking forward to catching up on the other episodes. Keep up the good work.
