Ep. 21 “The Longest Day” with Mona from Mon Amie Records to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association. In Episode 21 Josh talks with Mona from Mon Amie Records regarding the compilation LP coming out to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association which is something very near to both of us. In 2017 my family lost my grandfather Harold to this horrific disease of the mind. Mona was kind and brave enough to be vulnerable to share her families own story which led to the creation of this album “The Longest Day - A Benefit for the Alzheimer's Association” where 100% of the proceeds go to the association. The album features music from Beach Slang, Moby, New Order and many more. We are beyond honored to bring this powerful discussion to our audience. ⚠️ Trigger warning this episode is very personal around this topic however we take a very positive approach to the discussion. Just want everyone to be aware. ⚠️ 🏴‍☠️📻‬
