We reflect back on music in our lives growing up, our musical aspirations, instruments we've played or hope to someday (can you guess which one of us considered taking up the sousaphone?), and the songs we love to listen to on repeat. Links to things we mentioned in the show:

• Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen
• Dear Theodosia from Hamilton
• Stand by Me by Ben E King
• Hey Delilah by the Plain White Tees
• Into the Woods
• Hamilton
• The Last Five Years
• Wicked
