This week's episode of The Awl podcast is about karaoke—specifically, how to let go and enjoy yourself. Is there a right or wrong way to do karaoke? Bar or private room? Are any songs off-limits? And what do you do if you mess up in front of your coworkers? (Nothing, they're drunk.)

Christine Friar and Kevin Nguyen join us to talk about their love of the craft, and give us some tips they've collected over the years. No more Journey, please.
