Episode notes
This week, Margaret hosts a very bittersweet episode with the whole gang present (Guy via phone). This is Oliver Wang’s last show as a co-host, and the gang is talking about pop culture farewells. They talk about the departure of which characters affected them most growing up, good and bad series finale’s, and the most recent pop culture departures that really got to them. And later, Guy joins the conversation to talk about their latest jams and to say his own farewell.
P.S. because this show is about **farewells** please note that there will be many spoilers. Breaking Bad, The Affair, Seinfeld, 90210, The Walking Dead, The Wire, The Sopranos, Sex And The City, La La Land are among some of the TV and movies discussed.
That’s My Jam:
Margaret Wappler – Ragged Wood
Guy Branum – Adventures in Paradise
Wynter Mitchell – A Solid Wall Of Sound
Oliver Wang – Always In My Heart
Each week we’ll add everyone’s jams to this handy Spotify playlist.
