Episode Notes

They Might Be Giants ventured into the world of kids’ music about 20 years into their career, but is it worth it to check out the kids' music as an adult? This week, Julia and Christina are joined by Meg as they continue their exploration of things they love about the band, and why you should never abandon a sense of playfulness! Hear new and interesting sounds, expand your vocabulary, and discover (or rediscover) what could be your new favorite music, all in about half an hour on the only They Might Be Giants podcast recorded live from the beautiful island nation of West Xylophone!

Listen to Meg’s album recommendation: Here Come the ABCs
