Things Gay People Like

It's episode TWENTY and although we don't acknowledge the passing of time, I thought we should mark this anniversary with another Mariah moment! This time, my friend Matt and I take a look at the period from Honey in 1997 to Loverboy in 2001. He tells me why this is his favourite part of Mariah's career and we discuss our thoughts on the Butterfly, #1s and Rainbow eras - plus the unforgettable single that is Loverboy! As always, we chat about other pop culture bits too in TGPL News, give our Recommendations and of course my Mam is back! Enjoy!
