We are joined by friend-of-the-podcast Liberty King to chat about the recent news that Madonna is doing reshoots for the Madame X Tour. What does it all mean?

MLVC goes Live!

Did you miss our very first live episode? No problem! We've got the playback for you right here...

Since February commemorates the release of Madonna's seventh studio album, Ray of Light, we thought there couldn't be a better way to celebrate than to speak with some listeners live on the air. We chat with people from NY, Ohio, California and Brazil and reminisce about M's spiritual, electronica-filled opus.

Thanks to everyone who joined us during the broadcast! We plan on doing another live show in the near future, so make sure to follow us on Podbean so you don't miss out.
