  • Ep. 6: Moving into the New Year

    Can you believe we are at the end of this wild, weird year? We just had our last Community Zoom of 2020 and we hope you enjoy the glorious playlist from the event! To clear up any possible confusion, the first track of this episode is the same track from episode 5, but we used it for the community event and it just made sense to keep it in this full playlist. We will be bringing more Benevolent Instruction into 2021, so subscribe to this podcast and follow us on Instragram at benevolent_instruction to get all the updates. Happy New Year, friends!!!
