Episode 281 - Bell Biv Devoe

This week, we welcome back Jarrell Mason of Beyond The Album Cover! He's full of music knowledge, so I love our chats, and Bell Biv Devoe was another great one. We explore the history of a hip-hop supergroup, composed of members of supergroup New Edition - Ricky, Mike, and Ronnie! Jarrell and I always go off track, so we delve into some other 90's music pools as well. The hallmark of good conversation!

Episode 280 - "American Fantasy" Author Emma Straub

New York Times bestselling author Emma Straub and I have a light hearted conversation about her latest novel, "American Fantasy". Inspired by her experience on the 2023 New Kids On The Block cruise, a trip the two of us both went on. Her focus was not only on the boyband, but the fans that adore them, and all the unique personalities that make up a fandom. The costumes, group photo day, Joey McIntyre's support, and how the book is centered around a fictional boyband.

It's a very special story, and how have the fans reacted to the book so far? Buy the book today at www.emmastraub.com .
