It's Our MADiversary Jul 25, 2025

Show notes

Do you know what today is?! We’ve been doing this thang for 3 years, y’all!!! It all started in the summer of July 2022 when we decided to bring our love for music out of the group chat and into your speakers every Friday. Join us this week as we reflect on the some of our favorite moments from year 3, how the pod changed our relationship with music, and what our hopes are for MAD Music in the future. Thanks for rocking with us as we all travel through the beautiful world of music together. We appreciate all the love and support over the years. Enjoy!

Himboism According to Boy Radio Jul 11, 2025

Show notes

Looking for a new artist to add to your playlist? Love music that crosses genres? Need a bass-thumping gym banger to get you moving? Then you’ll want to check out this episode!

We had the pleasure of interviewing Boy Radio about his genre-blurring album, Himboism — a dynamic fusion of dance-pop, pop-rap, and alternative R&B. In our conversation, we dive into the inspiration behind the project, from cruising through the hills of California to unpacking and redefining the term himbo through music.

Don’t miss this one — and be sure to stream Himboism wherever you listen to music!
