## Resource

It’s Bono’s birthday week and we're celebrating with a round of favorite Bono stories, listener questions, and poll results from the show’s desert island album question. And of course, Questions for Bono over Whiskey and Cake™️ In this episode, Jenny and Hillary revisit unforgettable encounters with Bono from the 1990s and 2000s, including the first time they saw him in Dublin, a ride in his car, and a memorable backstage conversation in Miami. They also share on-stage moments from tours in Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Dublin, including one particularly funny glasses mishap that had them both cracking up mid-show. LEAVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!
