With this being the last official podcast of 2013 (we’ll do a best-of next week), we decided to pull out all the stops and bring you a live, exclusive performance from Hillsong United! We met up with the band in Tampa before a show last month, and we’re thrilled to play the performance on this week’s episode. And as an extra bonus, you can go over to RELEVANT.tv and watch the performance there. We also bring Jesse and Tyler into the studio to discuss the dangers of Chinese smog, unpack what really happened with the Mandela sign language interpreter, and recap our favorite stories from 2013…
