Send us a textJoin me for the last episode of 2025, as I enjoy a maple old fashioned. I talk Questlove's new podcast, along with new music from gwendolyn, De La Soul, and Daphni. Also, a deluxe album from the xx, and the rerelease of The Beatles' "Anthology." Lastly, I look at 2026 – upcoming music events, having guests back on here, and a new season of new music and artists. Cheers, one last time this year!
