Music Intro for November 16, 2018 Dear Gossips, Many eastern cities in Canada and the US are dealing with the first snowstorm of the season.

Music Intro for November 15, 2018 Dear Gossips, Mariah Carey’s new album, Caution, comes out tomorrow. Mimi’s previous album, Glitter, is currently #2 on iTunes. It’s a surprise.
