May Flowers

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!
