Great podcast 4 the Purple fams and everyone!

Being a lifelong fan of Prince and his music, it is such a joy to hear from the musicians themselves about all the music that was so pivotal to my youth. It is dope to hear how Prince was so inclusive of his peers and that he truly believed in their many talents. Can't wait for more episodes!
