This week, we talk with NPR Music's Stephen Thompson. He co-created the famous Tiny Desk Concert series and is a cohost on NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour. Before that, he covered entertainment for The Onion. He'll be joining us for our IPR Launch Event on Saturday, November 2nd! Also in this episode: we listen back to some of our favorite October subjects, including a recently syndicated comic strip creator and new music from the local band Lovesick Moan.
