📌 @kexp tiene una sorpresa y @SPIN lo revela! The Cobain 50 es el nuevo podcast de KEXP donde exploraremos los discos que Kurt eligió antes de morir. Estaré a cargo de la versión en español #ElCancioneroDeKurt contando la influencia de todo esto en LATAM.

@JohnCMcGinley, what ever happened to your book from 2005 about Untalkative Bunny? I've been trying to buy a copy but can't find it anywhere!

Very much had fun with the old time radio announcer voice in the intro! The reign of DOOM!

[Dusty Henry @DustyHenry_]

Going all in to honor MF DOOM, @madlib, their Madvillain project, and the power of villainy this week on @kexp's 50 Years of Hip-Hop podcast. Tried our best to emulate the spirit of 'Madvillainy' throughout. RIP DOOM. https://t.co/kv2afalJo4

@Sholarsenic @DustyHenry_ @kexp Sorry, I meant to send you an email letting you know that we published it! I'm glad the story reached your ears just as well 😌 Thanks for chatting with me! Stoked for your next book on the Goofy Movie or the Nintendo Playstation!

[Mike Sholars the Writer @Sholarsenic]

I had a blast talking to @rodmanned about PaRappa, and I CANNOT BELIEVE I'm part of 50 Years of Hip Hop!
Hearing my voice alongside samples and clips from the game is such a (chicken) chef's kiss moment.
Shout out to @DustyHenry_ and @kexp for believing in me and the book!

Proud to have executive-produced @AutriyaManeshni's honors thesis, "Inside Objectivity," a five-part podcast exploring objectivity in #journalism. I'm lucky to work with motivated @Cronkite_ASU students on audio storytelling projects like this!
