In this episode, we dive deep into two of life's greatest puzzles: the Declaration of Independence and actual puzzles. One thousand pieces of historical text—what could go wrong? Tune in as we discuss the satisfaction and frustration of tackling a thousand-piece replica of America's most famous document. 

But don’t worry, it's not just about history; we also explore Barbara’s new album! The title track, "56 Fishes" is inspired by the varied worldviews of the signers of the Declaration. A genre-blending amalgam of neo indie, indie pop, dark alt pop, and industrial pop, the project is coming together one song—and one confusing fish—at a time. Metaphors fly faster than puzzle pieces. 

This episode explores the creative mind of an artist trying to solve much bigger puzzles in life.

Whether you’re into puzzles, music, or if you just want to know why fish are schooling with the Founding Fathers, this episode is the ride you didn’t know you needed.
