“Ex members of Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Smith Westerns went from Chicago to California, slept in tents in Jonathan Rado's backyard, and recorded this album - I can't not love it”

Episode 101 kicks off with Mr. Husband, and before you close things out with Tugboat Captain you’ll hear some Mountain Man, Human Barbie, Stephen Malkmus, WIDOWSPEAK and a bunch more niceness.
