Back to School Special: Ice Cream Cake, Banana Pranks, Mnemonic Songs, Daylight Savings, Leap Years, Palindromes, ASMR and More!
Have you ever had that dream where you arrive at school but something’s a little… off? Join us for our Back to School Special where Nichole and Evan experience exactly that. Their plan to squeeze the most out of the final days of summer is thwarted when they doze off by the pool and fall into an unexpected dream that lands them back in the classroom. But this time they’re not students — they’re the teachers!
Music Makers (Side B): Garifuna Drumming, Ron Thomason of Dry Branch Fire Squad, Voyager Golden Space Record, The Fossegrim, & More
Nichole and Evan take a trip to Belize and sit in with drummers carrying on the African Garifuna Drumming tradition and gearing up for the "Battle of the Drums." Evan talks with bluegrass pioneer Ron Thomason of the Dry Branch Fire Squad about mandolins, guitars, horses, and how to use your own body as a drum. You’ll learn the story of the Voyager Golden Record, a record all about human experience on Earth that was sent to space in the hopes aliens might one day find it.
