Olivia Vargas is in the building for episode 9! Her band, August, recently released a new album. Be sure to check out "Through the Looking Glass" wherever you get your music. Or check out her solo EP, "Songs from My Room".

We talked with Olivia about what qualities in songs create musical sweet spots and what is the best way to listen to music. Feel free to email us with comments, suggestions, or questions at [email protected].
