A chaotic, cozy, late-night do-over! Pokie and Walter re-record an episode after realizing the mics weren’t on the first time (whoops). Cue pajama party vibes, instant ramen energy, and lots of musician life: iPad shopping and a microscopic (but pricey) quesadilla, why NYC pianist gigs feel like mini-reunions, and memories of performing on a hundred toy pianos. Walter shares an upcoming short set at the Guggenheim, Pokie spotlights a new 5-day online Sight-Reading Techniques course by Rose Lockman, and the duo dives into BarTech: why newsletters still matter, how to be consistent, and the tiny tweaks that boost opens and clicks. Plus: Cardi B trial giggles, listener reviews, a trending-audio pet peeve, ringtone nostalgia, and a passionate debate about wrap orders at Toast Uptown.
