This week we talk to the wonderfully eclectic singer/songwriter, Brooke Waggoner. Yes, she’s performed with such legends as Jack White, but we’re also big fans of her new album, “Originator,” and are thrilled to bring you our conversation with her. Plus, we discuss some new TV shows (and ones to waste time on), get into a bit of a scientific discussion (clearly not our territory) and hit the reset button on this new invention called the “Internet.”

A big thanks to our sponsor, Audible.com, the leading provider of premium digital spoken audio information and entertainment on the Internet. They’re giving all RELEVANT Podcast listeners a free audiobook! To get yours, click here.

After a long hiatus, we’re happy to announce the RELEVANT Studio Sessions are back, this week featuring a live performance by the legendary Jars of Clay! The veteran band came through our studio to play a few songs from their new album Inland, and we’ve got 2 of those performances on this week’s show. Also, we play a “fantasy showdown” game with a listener, do some beatboxing and dig into 2 Chainz‘s cookbook (yup, you read that one right). It’s a very spooky Friday the 13th edition of the podcast…and you’ve been warned.

A big thanks to the sponsor of this week’s show, Warby Parker. Warby offers an easy way to buy fashion-forward prescription glasses and sunglasses online for only $95—and as part of our partnership, they’re giving all RELEVANT Podcast listeners free expedited 2-day shipping on your purchase!

Who would you want to spend 15 minutes sitting with?

An unnamed middle-eastern prince recently paid $500,000 to sit with Twilight actress Kristen Stewart for 15 minutes. So this week we want to ask you, what current living person would you most want to spend 15 minutes sitting with (and why)?

Plus, we give you our VMA‘s recap, continue working on a dcTalk reunion and learn why an American paid a $500 fine to swallow a pickled toe in a Canadian bar…

What word or phrase would you like to see added to the dictionary?

This week we learned of a few new words being added to the dictionary (food baby, twerk, etc…). So it made us wonder, what word or phrase would you like to see added to the dictionary?
