Perfection!

I love love LOVE this podcast. I love Eboni and Dustin’s partnership. I love the content. I love the straight, no chaser approach. It is an organic, informative experience; as well as humorous at times. One of my few faves 😍. Oh how I wish you guys could break it down on mainstream media for the masses because the others have FAILED us. You make it make sense and help us understand the legal and social impact of the decisions we make. Thank you Eboni and Dustin! #KeepitPlayah 😉
