FLASHBACK - Dr. Donnelly Wilkes

September 26, 2021: Savage Wonder podcast, Episode 2

Note: It’s the holidays, so we’re doing something a little different. For the week between Christmas and New Years, we wanted to flashback and share some of our podcasts from 2021, that, to be perfectly honest, didn’t get as many listens as we believe they deserved. We’re not super bothered about it, we have pretty thick skin. But at this time of year, we wanted to make sure we shined a light on some truly exceptional veteran artists to make sure they’re getting as much attention as we can give them. Enjoy and happy holidays!
