So this episode is going to be very different and very personal compared to what you might be expecting from this show. Because of the nature of the content, I decided to upload it without an episode number so no one who's a regular listener should feel this is an episode they gotta listen to with the rest. For this episode, I wanted to put my thoughts and my story for lack of better word out there in a way that I feel is relatable to those who listen to the show. Music has always been a big outlet for me whether it's blasting something awesome to pump myself up for work, background noise to have on while doing some chores or, in today's episodes case, feel like someone out there actually gets me. I share some insight to what I went through growing up and some of the music that helped me understand that I wasn't the only one out there. I'm not going to list much for this show on the show's feed so if you stumble across it, tread the content with caution as it's a very personal episode and one I wasn't even sure if I should actually release or not. If this isn't your thing, come on back on Monday at 9am for some more great pop culture goodness!
