Congratulations on making the 500th! And further congratulations on and thanks for keeping the quality up over that time (well, maybe not the mixtape episodes, but I understand why they’re there – I think). Few other podcasts can do that, including these ones from big producers with thousands of dollars behind them. Thanks, too, for brightening up my Sundays with something to talk, think and sometimes complain about. And on three occasions recommending books I actually bought!
Thanks for listening, DJ! With those initials, you should be fonder of mixtapes.
