CW: Frank Discussions of Sexual Assault

I know God Breathed on this (podcast episode)! This week on "I've Been Meaning To Listen To That", Andrew reviews the album DONDA by Kanye West with special guests Stenley Phillippe and Amber Valentine! Plus, Andrew, Stenley, and Amber get personal discussing how the music of ye acts as the soundtrack to perseverance and creativity, their experience witnessing the chaotic yet moving rollout at the Mercedes Benz Stadium/ Soldier Field listening party, and litigate whether the inclusion of Marilyn Manson is a sobering message of forgiveness or an ill-conceived and psychologically violent publicity stunt.

Are there moments of transcendent beauty in this tribute to Donda West despite the controversy? Do we still rock with Kanye's vision after everything? Listen to this masterpiece of an episode to find out!
