  • Aretha Franklin: Amazing Grace (1972) Ep. 152

    Welcome to Sunday morning on Beck Did it Better where Kohl's resort is sponsoring us to be the best Aretha Franklin podcast when we talk about her best-selling album ever with "Amazing Grace." 

    We talk about the heat (unless you live with Russell), one of us is letting feral cats in the house, how we sign emails, and we get bummed out by our achievement days. Russ is truly a great uncle, Brian gets sucked into Aaron's quest to find food at the ballpark and we talk a lot about Brian. 

    Russ came to see Rob and did something that shook Rob to the core, then we talk about gospel music and Aretha and how much different the movie is than the album.
