The World of Quarantine, Politics, and Insecure

Welcome! You made it to the second episode. I have no idea when I recorded this but it had to be early March. I have post-reflections but they’ve also turned into other podcast ideas. So we’ll see how I go about this. This episode showcases my friend Adriana Guillen’s beats. Dri Dri waves can be found on instagram and soundcloud.
