Wide-ranging musings take us from Tiny Desk Concerts, Jason Isbell's concerns about his daughter's fitness for professional yodelling, Dolly Parton being the ideal homework subject and Jeff McErlaine sharing the musical spotlight to strangely coloured literary wildlife, the skankiness of London in Shakespeare's time and Tom Eaton's reasonable and treatises on Things To Be Concerned About Right Now. We also debate just how serious our current social dilemmas are, whether or not Keanu Reeves slapping and slicing people for 130 minutes constitutes art and whether scientists should argue with people who run theme parks. There's also a first play for Bruce's new single "Dreamed You Different", which lyrically considers the trickiness of truly understanding someone you don't see much, and musically leans in the direction of The Jayhawks.
