what I really love about this podcast is how it manages to show that these artists are complex personalities with a lot of faults. In this particular episode it occurred to me what I found so irritating about Joni the whole time: she seems to be (or at least comes across as) a very aggressive and self-centered person who externalizes her own fuck-ups onto others and plays the victim instead of owning them. The cool thing is that the cast shows it instead of telling. And that it manages to show how and why these people were important without glorifying them. Well done.
