Duff is joined by C Liegh McInnis. Join us every Saturday at noon ET for What Did Prince Do This Week? (WDPDTW), an interactive, virtual book club where we read Duane Tudahl's entire Prince Studio Sessions book series very slowly. Beyond a book club, it is also a Saturday salon, echoing the spirit of the Harlem Renaissance and inviting discussions that delve into every aspect of Prince's purple world and music in general. ⸻ In this special in-person episode 168 of What Did Prince Do This Week?, Week 16 of April 1986: Prince makes a stop in New York City to visit Jill Jones before heading back to Minneapolis from France. Back in the studio, the Dream Factory album project expands with key new tracks like “Crystal Ball,” “Big Tall Wall,” and “Starfish and Coffee,” signaling the growing scope and ambition of one of Prince’s most fascinating unreleased albums. ⸻ What Is #WDPDTW?
