Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2300379/fan_mail/new] We decided to stray in a different direction to talk about something quintessentially American. You've heard of country, Americana, and indie music, but what were their roots? Like cuisine, fine and modern arts, poetry, and fiction, we use music to tell stories of what's happening to us right now. Created and co-hosted by Georgia Abrams and Hannah Rucinski.

And what about when the government admitted that UFOs were real back in 2017? We take a look back to one of the earlier encounters that vastly influenced pop culture and how we think about "little green men" and "greys" to this day.  Created and co-hosted by Georgia Abrams and Hannah Rucinski.
