Hiiiii! We can't be talky talky in your ear this week because someone / everyone is in China (ok actually just Hannah). But we wanted to pop up in your feed to tell you that we will be back next week once Hannah gets back from the complete other side of the globe. K thnx love you bye!

This week the gang has "GREAT ENERGY". Despite all being collectively tired, they all rally to throw shade at mumble rappers. Erin continues to struggle with saying names. Erin struggles with saying just about everything. They have lots of shout outs and up front stuff.

Erin talks about her obsession with Jamila Woods. Ben is obsessed / transfixed with the YouTube channel Jun's Kitchen. Hannah tunes most of Ben's segment out because she's watching Jun's Kitchen while he's talking. Hannah is obsessed with Wal-Mart? Or maybe Arkansas? Tune in to find out which. Everyone is confused about the pronunciation of Arkansas.

HOMEWORK:

- Watch the Jamila Woods Tiny Desk Concert on YouTube and then listen to her album HEAVN

- Watch Jun's Kitchen on YouTube. If you like that and want more, watch Rachel And Jun on YouTube. Also go to Japan and take Ben.

- Go to Bentonville, Arkansas, talk to the people, and avoid the Bentonville diarrhea. Get at Hannah if you can help her launch a study.

Ok so we're not really changing our format permanently, but we are seriously obsessed with Queen Monáe this week.

When she's not listening to PYNK over and over again, Hannah has been listening to an extremely dark but compelling audiobook. Erin has managed to find time to listen to a whole podcast musical when she's not watching and re-watching the PYNK video. Ben has been watching a Japanese pop group sing songs on Youtube! But are they a pop group or a reality show? Or something else entirely? Listen to hear us trying to find out!

HOMEWORK:

- If you can handle (unsolved) true crime, check out I'll Be Gone in the Dark (and then listen to the My Favorite Murder episode of the same name)

- Listen to the 36 Questions podcast and then listen to the music on Spotify

- Watch Goose House on YouTube

The gang catches up with a terminologIan, some talk about the weather, and a discussion of sushi preferences.

Ben has been listening to a new podcast from Earwolf. Hannah has been watching a show about upcycled products on Netflix! Erin has been so into several things we've already talked about on the podcast that she didn't have any new obsession this week. But honestly she's been obsessed with Janelle Monae.
