Excellent summary and reflection on Mariah Carey’s “Here for it All”
“And I’ll tell you about that in a second!” Every thirty seconds gets very infuriating to listen to. Constant teasing, never following up, chopping and changing, horribly misplaced promos partway through sentences. Really a shame because the actual content is so interesting and well researched. Just a nightmare to listen to!
Jame knows his stuff. Love listening to his podcast, new stiff all the time, very entertaining.
Cannot recommend this enough. James Rodriguez knows what he is talking about and the guests are top tier.
Absolutely love James’ podcast. Such attention to detail in the research - a true love of the artists unpacked in every podcast!
