Our annual Bonnaroo Christmas Special is here!  We're joined by a panel of awesome Roovians: Bonnaroovian of the Year Chloe, Evan Bonnaroo and Skyler from the NYC area, Jack from the Inforoo Forums, and Barry from The What Podcast!  We talk about what made the 2024 festival season special, and play some fun party games too.  

Brooklin is also over with Sharla and Daniel to continue the party, and we're going to be honest, we got pretty tipsy just in time for the season and just left the microphone on.  

Thank you for all of your support of TOTEM and all else that we do, we love you, and Happy Holidays!
