Harry BROUGHT his #Fave5 songs with him (which you can read all about the juicy YTunes Shuffle Nuggest on his music here.)

We discover that Harry uses his music to meditate and really formulate was he wants out of life. He talks about envisioning his professional future, what college was like when you start your own fraternity, and how past mistakes as an intern helped shape his current humble and grateful attitude. He also describes what he wants out of a romantic relationship with a very surprising song.

Episode 56: Fiona Goodwin

Fiona Goodwin spent some quality time with the show despite being a very busy comedian working on debuting her One Woman Show: "A Very British Lesbian."

Fiona brought her Fave 5 songs and shared all about how she grew up in the English countryside. Her songs wove us through stories of being a high schooler looking for an answer to why she was attracted to women. Instead, she found a friend who introduced her to the church. She studied for years and travelled all over the world on missions running from her truth. Fiona details an exorcism performed on her, falling in love on the set of a church play, and road tripping all over Europe with the love of her life.

Band Or Bar takes us to Berkley, CA and then Fiona dives into her very surprising First Concert before rounding out the show with the Last Concert story.

The entire episode was recorded on Easter so there is a running joke about Fiona's obsession with Cadbury's Eggs. Hope you enjoy the episode.

Mia shares what it was like growing up as Asian in a white town, having a scientific dad and artistic mother, raised on all the music. She talks about the significance of David Bowie on the world, and how it's never to late to cross items off a bucket list. She rounds out her Fave 5 songs with a song that puts words to the feeling of sending your kid off to college and what songs and composers seem to have the pulse of what human longing sounds like.

We play Band Or Bar in Cook County, MN before diving into her First and Last Concert experiences.
