The Mashup: Checking Receipts at The Intersection

It’s been a minute I know, but like we’ve all watched the news right? The Corona Virus has rocked many of our lives, but I did want to share this episode and let y’all know, this may be the last episode for a bit. I don’t know how long a bit is, to be honest. In the meantime, I did want to give you one parting episode and guess what, it’s all about great music and two great shows that you can watch during this time of social distancing. Also, it’s with one of my favorite people and podcast host, Christina Utley. Christina runs a podcast called Recaps and Receipts all about the first episodes of tv shows you should be watching.
