"Acoustic Covers" w/ Tim Platt

Recorded two days after the election, this episode is raw, real, and occasionally incoherent in ways few other podcasts would dare to be. We're joined by our dear and delightful friend Tim Platt, whose debut comedy album Teeth Like Beak is now available on all platforms, to talk about a true straight classic: acoustic guitar covers. Was the guitar scene in the Barbie movie hack or revolutionary? Should Ben Folds be tried at the Hague? And finally: At what point does critiquing something by calling it straight lose its edge? When we say so, bitch.
