  • Our hypothetical killer group, fit for American consumption (30:05)
  • The little, small (but important) things in becoming a real artist (38:38)

Good job to Terry who got all the songs in the last episode — didn’t think anyone would be able to get all of them! Give us your best guesses for the music used this week.

As always, be sure to check out our past episodes of Chat Box and let us know what you think of this one.

Until next time…!
