When my friend Joana Fernandes texted me to say she’d be in Atlanta I couldn’t miss the opportunity to have her as a guest on the show. I knew she’d come up with some awesome record choices to talk about but I wasn’t sure what they’d be. Out of all the fantastic choices she gave, Tom, James and I decided to go with Kick by INXS. Four of the twelve tracks were top 10 hits - the record dominated the charts at a time the three of us were figuring out who we were and what direction we wanted our lives to take. Kick came out the year I moved from a relatively small town in Wisconsin to the San Francisco Bay Area and the world opened up to me - a new sensation. I couldn’t have picked a better record to talk about with a dear friend from my high school days; the songs could be heard everywhere the year our worlds collided. Thank you, Joana! I love you and I’m so happy you’re our 50th episode guest, just in time for your next 24th birthday. We had so much fun shooting this episode and reminiscing about our idyllic teenage years in late ‘80s Marin, I forgot to mention one of the most interesting things I learned about INXS in my research for this episode. Did you know they briefly considered being a Christian band? It’s true! Be sure to watch to learn more fun facts and, if you don’t already, get to know my friend Joana a little bit. She’s pretty spectacular. This episode is dedicated to the loving memory of our high school friend, Samay Israel. - Cassy
