Spring break is upon us, dear listeners. We did our best to release another polished, high-quality episode of Nonsense that you’ve come to love every Thursday morning. Instead, you’re getting something brand new - an episode of “Nonsense Unplugged.” This is possibly the first ever “acoustic podcast”; no music, no recommendations, no ads - just cj & Jeff chatting about a couple of news articles.
It’s different and familiar, both at the same time; mildly concerning, calming, and hair-raising. You’re going to love it - and either way, let us know what you think about making “Nonsense Unplugged” a thing of the future.
