Two guests! Two live performances! Amazing!
To wrap up 2018, Hi Ho (Gillian McGhee) and OUTDrejas joined me for conversation and live performances inside a CX-5 on the showroom floor of The Autobarn Mazda of Evanston. It was an amazing day for the podcast, and a thrill to record at the Autobarn Mazda of Evanston. We’ll definitely be doing this again! Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:
Hi Ho segment
LIVE PERFORMANCE: “WHISKEY SHEETS”
