Today we're joined by Gateway Worship! We talk about their new album and their church's unique approach to raising up the next generation of songwriters. Plus, we have the week's Slices — ranging from Aaron Sorkin's potential new Social Network follow-up to the major changes being implemented to address the terrible flying experiences we’ve all had the last few years. And at the end of the show, you do not want to miss our game Unhinged Dating Profiles. It’s really sad and really hilarious all at once!
