We’ve got another first look out today for By Heart, and next week, our big Sift review is going to be out.By Heart Mini Review: https://youtu.be/P3ZVWKjwFS4Umma Mini Review: https://youtu.be/McWxu2o_XRQ?si=qTnDYJHyUPgThxWEWe’ll certainly be taking first looks at equipment too and we expect to fold in goofy absolutely rank-type shit, listener questions, and plenty of strong opinions into the mix. We’ll probably do more interviews too, but we want them to be more like the one we did with Sad Papi where we cooked with him IN OUR KITCHEN.Sad Papi Interview: https://youtu.be/e9LibD4ttTQCooking is the point and we want to lean into that. Less telling, more showing.Thank you all so much for hanging out with us the last few months. We appreciate all the feedback and how much you played in the space with us while we figured this out.We're taking questions as always over in the Cult Flav Community: https://cultflav.com/community👋 Have a great week, we'll see you next Sunday!
