In the words of one of the greatest pop stars of all time, “Fuck a app!” (except whichever one you use for podcasts). Robyn joins us to talk her upcoming, stellar album “Sexistential.” Topics range from the tantric kookiness of the writing process, covering your own songs, and the age-old question: Would you eat your baby? Lived-in experiences with Max “Just a Guy” Martin and the idea of nostalgia being lethal. And of COURSE Robyn gives a cool answer to The Question in the form of a Neneh Cherry song. So come take a warm auditory bath like the song “Honey” IDTSH’s on Close Friends etiquette. Well-lit intercourse. Being early to hating Elon and all the men and boys who are withOUT.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
