It’s been a massive year for the Take 5. Since 2006 I’ve been having conversations that go well beyond music, but in the last couple of years I feel as though these co-hosts have gone deeper than ever. In 2019 alone, I had so many pinch myself moments, so I wanted to share them with you here in a frankensteined best of: a Take 10 to cap off a big year.
Over the next little while you’ll hear why this segment is so special. And if this is your first time listening, it’s a great smorgasboard to feast on. A taster plate that may spur you to scroll back into your feed and dig into some of these other wonderful conversations.
