The Mountains and the Sea Reviews Prince
Josh and Christy explore the highs and the lows - the mountains and the sea, if you will - of every Prince album. Each album will get two or more episodes, as needed. The first will focus on the album tracks with a brief discussion of each song and our selections for the mountain, the sea, and the time capsule - the song that most represents the era of recording.

Funky Jazz - Times Squatred Eric Leeds
Eric Leeds and Prince collaborated on a bunch of projects, including Eric’s unexpected solo album, Times Squared.

But here's the real question: If Eye Love U 2Night, will you share the pod with a friend in the morning light?
