Tana & Stephen, Ziggy, and Chance

HOLY CRAP WE'RE BACK! Tana I talk about what's been going on during the new year (everything is terrible), how the show Arthur helped me start the 'cast up again, our massive crushes on Chance the Rapper, and how to be the best activist you can be. Also, I love how I say I'm not gonna talk about a video/song...and I end up doing exactly that!

Dan & Az Yet

OH MAN. Dan and I have so much fun listening to the classic slow jam hit, "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" by quintet Az Yet. We talk about Dan growing up in a PBS/NPR only household, Az Yet's auspicious beginnings, and our mutual love of dogs.
