Not a Day Goes By – Merrily We Roll Along (with Christine Chen)


Listen Later

"Not a Day Goes By" appears twice in the show, but its meaning is vastly different. Christine Chen returns to discuss how the song also changes whether it's Frank or Beth who sings it, and why Mary should have been given more to do in this show.

  2. Pod Power - With Pod Power, our sponsors are making it possible for us to amplify the voices of Albertans and Alberta podcasters. This episode, Edmonton Community Foundation is helping us give a Pod Power shout out to Is This For Real? - https://isthisforreal.ca/podcast - We point out these contradictions not simply to be doomers, though there is a guilty pleasure in that for sure. We’re hoping to play a small role in keeping those with power in check, building an understanding of the reality we are living through, and showing people the ability we can have to hold local institutions accountable.
