Phenomenal episode, congrats on 300!

Also, this is so so funny- “I have no idea what in my tax return could have possibly inspired his comment. Maybe it was just a very emo way of saying “remember to save your receipts!”

This was a really nice episode. I had a feeling it would be special just seeing who it was before listening, and it was. Your empathy and presence in the moment was great (and an inspiration!) as always.

But I especially appreciate that you chose to reflect and commemorate what happened. Do you think, 300 episodes later, that this is one of the ways you’ve grown?

What a vivid, beautiful description of the experience, Hrishi. Thanks for letting us in on that. And congrats on 300. That's an incredible milestone. Somehow you keep making the show even better, and I feel like that has everything to do with your open-heartedness and presence.

Wow, I've been a little monster for the past 15 years, and this is my favorite Gaga interview! She was so excited as she was going through the music process — it seems like she had such a good time. Congrats on the 300th episode!

By the way, I didn’t know about the podcast and just found out you did a bunch of episodes about my favorite artists/songs?!?! I'm definitely going to dive deep into it!

What a perfect dessert to an already delicious meal of an episode! Such a fan of both the pod and the newsletter! Keep crushing it Hrishikesh :)

Congratulations on the 300th episode! I really love the BTS account, the peek into the humanness of the story of making of a thing (about the making of a thing) was incredibly delightful.
