Episode Notes

Straying a little from the goal of getting newcomers into listening to They Might Be Giants, Julia and Christina discuss two albums they wouldn’t recommend as first listens. Or maybe they haven’t strayed completely, as they pick some highlights from both, including one of Julia’s all-time favorite TMBG songs!

We actually do have nice things to say about Detroit (and Cleveland), plus hear this episode's Sound of the Week and Word of the Week!
