Thank you thank you thank you for this podcast. I am a professional artist. I spend all day alone in my studio (in a good way..). These conversations are a GIFT to my soul and creativity. Santi - been listening to your work since 2008. Love Stiffed too. You rock!! ✨

Fantastic show - what an incredible lineup. I knew Santigold as a performer but didn’t realize she was such a gifted orator. Super smart. Every episode a treasure.

Hearing these honest and emotionally naked conversations between Santi and her guests is inspiring. A lot of vulnerability went into this. I feel honored to hear people be this open.

danieldavidmusic · Dec 2022

This is the best podcast of its kind. Granted, there have only been two episodes, but these episodes are golden. If you are a creative, or are in close proximity to creative, this is the podcast for you. It is inspirational and aspirational. She has the most incredible Rolodex of friends, and I cannot wait for the next episode.
