Nick, Helen, and the crew head back to The Momentary in Bentonville, Arkansas to tape a very special show featuring musical guests Allison Russell and Parker Millsap.

Allison is joined by members of her "circle of Goddesses" as they present some powerful and emotive tunes. Parker Millsap shares the bill and plays some conscientious and insightful Americana-flavored songs. Nick also has a sit-down with Tom Rohr of Food Loops to discuss the joys and smells of food composting.
