Ep. 4: You Can Burn Out on Listening to Music?!?1? (featuring April Hickey)

Welcome in flats and sharps! Today’s episode was recorded on May 24th, which you may notice, was more than a few weeks ago. But the conversation I had with April is truly timeless! They’re a delightful person who is so full of knowledge and kindness, you’d be hard pressed to find a single minute of this episode that doesn’t blow your mind or fill your heart with wonder. Enjoy! :)
