Amazing
Beautiful story telling. Thank you
If you are a music fan...
Lovingly assembled, passionately excavated, and well told these are great music stories. The Louis Louis and Glen Sherley episodes hooked me and I’m looking forward to more. Would be amazing if they assembled Apple Music playlists for every episode that you could download quickly afterward.
Great start
brilliant podcast so far, top notch stories and writing.
