This is so fun to listen to. I love hearing guests in a totally new and more relaxed environment and I honestly can’t stop thinking about what my seven songs would be!

Music. What a great, humanizing lens to view a prominent figure. Makes me want to go back and think of my own seven! Love it. Excited to see The SF Standard expand into the podcast realm.
