Loved every minute of this. Mason has such a deep rapport with the artist, love the reveals, feels intimate and different from all the other stuff out there.

Anthony Mason is a consummate professional and an interviewer of the highest caliber. I always learn something new about my favorite artists when he’s speaking with them. There’s no gimmick to these interviews: no spicy wings or drinking game. It feels like a natural conversation. So happy it made it to Apple Podcasts
