Summary

We're diving deep into the purple kingdom of Prince, the one-of-a-kind genius who made us all want to wear velvet and high heels. We'll sift through the massive pile of music that's come out since he left the building, from those epic compilations to the legal smack downs over his estate. We're also hitting the rewind button on his entire career, checking out how a kid from Minneapolis became the Funky One. Get ready to discuss everything from his trailblazing tunes and boundary-pushing style to the way he shook up conversations about race and gender. And hey, while we're at it, we'll give you a chill vibe so you can drift off to sleep, maybe dreaming in purple.
