Awesome work

Chris is a super thoughtful host and a wonderful conversationalist, and this podcast is an incredible companion piece to the work he’s been doing with his music. Highly recommend Really From (both the pod and the band)!

Really interesting conversations that kept me captivated. It’s really beautiful hearing artists/ musicians discuss their backgrounds and identities.
