If you’re wondering why I started doing Music Commentary podcasts, it comes from radio inspiration. I don’t try to compete with radio. I love radio. My dream was to become a singer, and when I tried to get into the music business, I knew that I probably wouldn’t become a singer. My mom use to tell me that God probably had a better way. A way that I wasn’t thinking about. I was thinking whatever the way was, it had to be something in music. I tried getting into radio to become a radio disc jockey
