As the heat and allergies of summer roll in, we welcome back two great singer-songwriters to the show: Victoria Vox and Hope Dunbar! We follow a circuitous path while we talk about ukulele travels, tackling writers block, ideas on expanding listernship, collaborating on songwriting, and much more! 

Shoutouts:

• Swallow Hill for hosting the OokTown Podcast at the 12th Annual Denver UkeFest - especially Lindsay Corbin and all the hard working folks at Swallow Hill that made the festival great! 

• Congrats to Na Hoku Hanohano winners Herb Ohta Jr. for instrumental album of the year, Kris Fuchigami for instrumental composition of the year for his song “Life Is,” and Taimane for performer of the year - all fabulous ukulele players!
