Woolly’s Wonderlist
where we ask the folks who inspire us to chat about what’s currently inspiring them
Shake up your weeknight routine with our new conversation series, Woolly’s Wonderlist, where we ask the folks who inspire us to chat about what’s currently inspiring them. You’ll hear from Woollyverse artists you know and love, as well as some folks that we’re excited to introduce you to (don’t worry, we really think you’ll hit it off). We'll dig into the ideas and influences that have shaped their careers, and made them Woolly favorites.
