This episode originally aired in 2023, shortly after Sinéad’s passing. (I’m still heartbroken.) Whether it’s your first time listening or you’re returning, join Sab and Shawna as they share stories and invite you to a Sinéad O’Connor sing-along. The world feels a little less magical without her in it.
