Episode notes
The spectacle, the magnificence, the sh*t show that was the 2015 Academy Awards. Why did Neil Patrick Harris miss the mark as host? What was with all those political speeches? And John Travolta… Plus everyone’s first gigs and music recommendations.
With Guy Branum, Wynter Mitchell, Oliver Wang and Margaret Wappler.
That’s My Jam:
Wynter Mitchell – Gnarls Barkley Who’s Gonna Save My Soul
Oliver Wang – Just Blaze Moleskine Conclusion
Margaret Wappler – Courtney Barnett’s Pedestrian at Best
Guy Branum – A joke from the latest Fresh Off The Boat
Each week we’ll add everyone’s jams to this handy Spotify playlist.
