This week on the podcast, Matt and Ryan are continuing their Pride Month celebration by diving into Wham!'s second studio album, "Make It Big." This iconic record was a game-changer for the duo, propelling them to superstardom in America with smash hits like "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" and "Careless Whisper."
Christopher Connelly of Rolling Stone raved about the album, calling it "an almost flawless pop record, a record that does exactly what it wants to and has a great deal of fun doing it."
