Just... Justin Timberlake: Part one Nov 12, 2023

Show notes

Hey, friends!

Justin Timberlake: just saying his name is enough to elicit a reaction. For some, he’s the hitmaker who turned boy band adoration into pop superstardom. For others, he’s the prime example of everything to dislike in a celebrity.

This episode was researched by Eilish Gilligan and audio produced by Annabelle Lee.
