Wow
Amazing. The podcast was so easy to listen to and enjoy! Luke and Tifah and Aaron are insightful, honest, and funny! I laughed, I cried. I gained so much appreciation of the music too. It so enriched each song! I wish I had a podcast like this for all my favorite albums.

Separation and divorce, I have found my thoughts and heart played out so eloquently through the podcast and music. Divorce has been one of the loneliest experiences of my life only now exacerbated by ex-husband’s sudden death at a young 53. It begins a whole new grieving process as I grapple with losing the father of our children and what “single parenting” truly means. Latifah, thank you for unknowingly climbing inside my head and speaking truth to pain, confusion, rage, insanity and the winding road of healing.
