This week is an encore presentation of our deep dive into the music of the rock and roll era's most celebrated brother/sister duo, The Carpenters, whose music became a staple of the 1970s wedding. This is the launching pad for a brand new intro conversation about the latest wedding dance Kristin attended and what role OUR music now plays on the Gen Z dance floor (hint: it's not our party anymore). And then it's back to the Carpenters for our encore content where we'll gush about our favorite Carpenters songs and what made them oh so personal. Which song connects Carolyn to her father? Which song made Kristin cry post-partum hormonal tears in the middle of the night? Plus, how did the songs get that signature sound? Sometimes when you know the stories, the songs get even better.
