Been a fan since college

Hey Marco and Team,

Discovered the world searching for electronic music on SoundCloud at the library. This event was huge for me. I studied international relations and security in college, so it was a nice little GPA booster having factoids for those essay exams. Thank you for all your work, your coverage helped me a lot and I’m still a big fan as a post-grad.

Sincerely,

Kara from UT Austin
