The debate over opera's use of skin-darkening makeup has triggered many conversations, and even more opinions. Opera superstar Limmie Pulliam returns to share his idea on this issue and to highlight the growing need for unity among musicians of color. Scott shares music inspired by his recent trip home to Omaha, NE, Garrett introduces the idea of racism in computer music to TRILLOQUY, and the guys celebrate Imani Winds, Ray LaMontagne, and more. The guys close the show with a TRILLOQUY movement themed around their personal relationships with Disney and the company's recent decision to platform an Afro-mermaid.
