The Good Music Show
Welcome to the Good Music Show with Danny and Julius! Each episode they will give each other an album or playlist based around a theme, then talk about the music and artists that make it. They'll cover a wide spread of artists that they care deeply about: from 2Pac to Willie Nelson, John Prine to Donna Summer, Ray Charles to Future. Keeping an open mind to new styles allows Danny and Julius, as well as listeners, the opportunity to step out of individualized music bubbles and find new music to love.

S2 E1 De La Soul's "De La Soul is Dead" x Willie Nelson's "Stardust" - Fall
Kicking off the season is a super-sized seasonal episode about fall!
First up - the second album from rap group De La Soul. We'll talk about the variety of styles across the album, threaded together by the signature De La Soul charm and wisdom. This self-aware and self-referential group was a big part of Julius's back-to-school fall world, and now Danny has become a dedicated customer of the De La Donut Store.
Then we go back into the Willie-verse and play around amongst the stars. This vibey album is something Danny always spins when the weather gets cooler. We'll get into Willie's inspirations that helped shaped this album and what it was like releasing an album of old standards in the middle of the outlaw country craze.
