2024/12/11

Today's episode is a bit different as it is without a guest. As 2024 is coming to an end, I thought I would take a look back at all the interviews and revisit some of the old artists that walked through the halls of Rti.

In case not, please do go check out the remaining artists and big shoutout to them: Alec
