Episode 266: Born This Way by Lady Gaga
Today, we are talking about an artist who has almost been one to make waves with whatever she is doing. We figured that it would be a great opportunity to talk about an album with just us to see what we thought about it and if it had the nostalgia. We also figured we would take a look at this album as there is a very prominent song from the Netflix show "Wednesday."
