Hear the podcast that could have been: The Sweetness with Carmen Christopher. Then stick around after Carmen passes the baton back to Dave for the State of The Sweetness address. The podcast has been around for a year, and some thank yous, explanations, and promises of what's to come are in order. This episode has them all!Â

Erin McGathy, Nigel Ng, Jo Feldman, Jeff Murdoch, and co-host Annie Donley made the first live Sweetness a great experience. Unfortunately, Dave went too far in his response to Kendrick Lamar's "Control" verse by calling out other Chicago podcasts, which caused "#1 fuck bro" Carmen Christopher to crash the show and take over The Sweetness. You are now listening to The Sweetness with Carmen Christopher.
Themes?:Â Ornette Coleman - âLonely Womanâ (The Shape of Jazz to Come)
Charles Mingus - âBetter Git It in Your Soulâ (Ah Um)

Plus: Dave relates the story of his first (and hopefully last) Twitter fight. P.S. If you wanna skip straight to the chat, it starts 23 minutes in.
