How Turning Red's 4*Town Stacks up Against the Biggest Boy Band Hits
<p>When I heard that a new Pixar movie was coming out, and that it would be about a preteen girl in the early 2000's I was excited. I was not prepared for the level of nostalgia I would feel from watching it, however. 4*Town reminded me of all of my favorite boy bands growing up - Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, and, of course, Dream Street. I decided to use those nostalgic feelings to analyze how 4*Town's songs stacked up against the early 2000's classics using my Boy Band Metric. Listen to hear how your favorites compare!</p> <p>Songs mentioned in this episode: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/56tRkoU1NZCiC0oXv0aJRw?si=953c902d9f914251">https://open.spotify.com/playlist/56tRkoU1NZCiC0oXv0aJRw?si=953c902d9f914251</a></p> <p>Merch: <a href="https://nitty-gritty-of-ditties.myspreadshop.com/">https://nitty-gritty-of-ditties.myspreadshop.com/</a></p>

Euphoria Part 2: Analyzing the Best Musical Moments of Season 2 with Rachel
<p>After writing and recording my episode about Labrinth's music in Euphoria and how it elevates the show, I still felt like I wasn't done talking about all of the music that this show incorporates. So, I invited my friend Rachel to the podcast to look at all of the songs that are chosen to be featured the Euphoria universe, and how those songs enhance our understanding and appreciation for the characters and the show as a whole. It was a really fun conversation, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!</p> <p>Merch: <a href="https://nitty-gritty-of-ditties.myspreadshop.com/">https://nitty-gritty-of-ditties.myspreadshop.com/</a></p>
