B-Side: SZA
12/30/2022
When we recorded our "New R&B For Old Heads" episode, SZA's SOS album release date hadn't been announced yet. Ironically, it came out on the same day that we released the episode. So, we had to go back in and record this B-Side the next day with some new information that had been presented to us via the album. Christina gives us what might be a controversial take by comparing SZA to an R&B legend, and we get into the musical parallels of the two artists.

Teedra Moses: Daddy, I'm Too Cute To Fight...(Remix)
6/3/2022
This episode was originally released January 2021. It was our first episode, back when we had very little knowledge of what we were doing in terms of audio production.

Check it out if you haven't heard the original.
