Ep. 65 - Welcoming Pope Leo XIV, New Music by PinkPantheress and Kali Uchis and more

Today’s Episode: This one’s a bit of a mixed bag, as I’ll be covering a few different topics that aren’t necessarily connected—but all worth talking about.First up, let’s discuss the new pope: Pope Leo XIV. He’s stepping into a massive role, following the impactful legacy of Pope Francis. I’ll be sharing my initial thoughts on him, what the internet’s saying, and what message I think the Church is trying to send with this new leader.Then, I’m diving into two recent album releases: Sincerely, by Kali Uchis, and Fancy That, by PinkPantheress. These two couldn’t be more different—Kali’s album offers dreamy vocals and lush, whimsical production, perfect for mellow moods. Meanwhile, PinkPantheress takes us straight to the club with a high-energy, UK garage- and house-inspired album full of catchy bangers.I also break down a few standout new singles from other artists, all of which made it into my Playlist of the Month.Tune in for all this and more.You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets
