What people are saying about Monday Bites
〰️ “I love this format!”
〰️ “Always love reading and getting cool tidbits about artists I know and don’t”
〰️ “I loved learning about this musician! Enjoying the tunes”
〰️ “I’m working through the Bites series and playlists one by one like an awesome, personal music class with incredible taste. I’m finding new music with them, and even when it comes to musicians I know, I get to learn something new, finding some new song. It’s the best. I’ve started working to the playlists and it means even on a dull work day, I get something wonderful out if it and have expanded my music history and library by the end. What a gift.”
