Customer Reviews
Perfect for this moment
One of the things that makes this pandemic so crazy is we are living through history while it is being made. These times will be studied, reviewed and remembered well past the shelf life of all that hand sanitizer we purchased.
And that is exactly what makes Pause/Play so incredible. I am learning more about what we are all experiencing all the while they are documenting it for the future, and it is done through the microcosm of music in the Live Music Capitol of the World.
I have learned, laughed, cried and been in awe of all the stories and people they have highlighted. And enough can not be said about the two incredible hosts, Elizabeth McQueen is always such a beautiful light but Miles Bloxson is new to my ears and she is equally as fantastic.
Do yourself a favor and start listening now!
