The news is a bit much these days, I've found myself turning down the radio more than usual. Sometimes we just need to tune out that noise and have ourselves a few laughs. This week I share with you a performance owned and made possible by Team Coco over at Conan. We share this purely for laughs and to hopefully introduce some new fans to Tig Nataro if you haven't heard of her yet. I've also been a little lazy with the interviews and hope to bring you some original content very soon, but until then.... ENJOY! We do not pretend to own the rights to this performance, and will make no money from sharing this with our listener. If we ever figure out how to make money from this podcast, we will be sure to let you know :)
