Justify Scandal, Country Music, and Dolly's America

This is a tangent filled Potluck folks. Will and Chris talk about all the usual things (i.e. Sean Brock, Birmingham, NYT articles), but they have some fun diversions into intellectual property law and how to count years. All while recording from an empty, soon-to-be baby's nursery. Hope you enjoy! Thanks to our wonderful sponsors:  Eli Mason - A special September only event!
