Customer Reviews
Thank you thank you thank you!
I’ve been listening to this podcast for awhile but this last episode where Shawn and Julian gave me a straight shot of nostalgia when they talked for four hours about 90s era R&B (one of the greatest eras of music) prompted me to write this review and give the highest possible rating. I love every episode and look forward to each one. We all had to wait awhile for this one (and honestly I was quite worried that the podcast was on hiatus or over) but let me tell you it was WELL worth the wait.
As listeners we were treated to four straight hours of talk about such great albums as Mary J’s My Life, Faith Evans’s Faith, Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite just to name a few. This episode prompted me to revisit these classic albums and appreciate them all over again. Every time I hear that horrible Anaconda song it is Mary J. Blige to the rescue to purge my mind of that horror show.
This is a great podcast. All eps have been great no matter the subject but this last one just blew me away. Thanks for the great podcast Shawn.
