Have You Heard Of..‪.‬ hyho

This week on Have You Heard of...we're doing something that was going to happen off-mic anyways, so why not record it? We go through our Spotify Wrapped together and celebrate another year of data collection! We'll be talking about our number one traxx that shouldn't have been surprising (but were), admire how we've influenced each other's musical preferences (warm and fuzzy feelings abound), and find a new use for a D100. Someone gets stunned speechless! Listen to find out whoooooo! Also Emma keeps calling it Spotify Unwrapped and Jenny is very gracious and does not correct her. May the end of 2021 treat you with kindness and grace and may 2022 greet you with even more banger tunes.

This week on Have You Heard Of…we're talking about tick, tick...boom a movie that's loudest talking point is the endless parade of cameos engineered to delight and make the audience feel very smart and in-the-know. And while we have a lot of fun talking about that number we'll also be talking about communication styles, the differences between Jonathan (the character) and Jonathan (the person) and how we'll never really be able to watch this movie as he originally intended with his off-off-Broadway show because, well, Rent exists. Also how this movie made us both cry and feel happy to be alive. Feat. A Mishmash of Broadway trivia because everyone in this movie is connected to everyone else in this movie by at least three different threads.

This week on Have You Heard Of…we’re back from hiatus and listening to Lauv's 2020 debut ep ~how i'm feeling~. Jenny explains the surprising (to her co-host, at least) way she discovered his music, we remember that loneliness existed pre-pandemic, and take the time to discuss every single song on this album because it really is that good and we wanted to admire the care and thought behind every piece of the tracklist. Also, Emma blacks out for a little bit. Feat. Alter Egos

Thank you to DJ for editing this week's episode. You can find him on Twitter @itstimefordeej

This week on Have You Heard Of...BROADWAY'S BACK and we're taking a little trip to David Byrne's brain and watching American Utopia. It's another concert episode (consider this a spiritual sequel to Celine Dion: Live in Las Vegas) and we’ll be discussing the different ways we've interpreted the narrative thread that runs through a music career and a public life that spans more than 40 years. We'll also be talking about dad rock, dad dancing, and loving drums. Feat. Jenny absolutely crushing it at the quiz of the week.

Jenny’s Spotlight Swap: Um Actually

This week on Have You Heard Of…LIVE FROM JENNY'S LIVING ROOM! We're talking about the 2014 movie Pride which we discovered together and, much like on Dai's flag, we recorded this episode holding hands. Not the whole time because sweaty palms. But the sentiment was there. We'll be talking the lost pastime of scrolling Apple Trailers and how it lead us to a movie that is wonderful and joyous, even as the world around its characters makes it increasingly hard to be these things. We'll be singing the praises of Pride's use of music (scientifically engineered to make you cry), the weird world of movie ratings, and how Pride's ensemble cast knows exactly how to shine when it's their time. Gethin, my beloved.

This week on Have You Heard Of…we're watching Newsies. Specifically the 2017 recording of the 2012 Broadway musical about the 1899 Newsboys' Strike and not the 1992 movie that used to have the same name and is now called News Boys by the kids and corporations of today. We’ll take a quick trip to AO3-land before talking about where the fact meets fiction followed by sweet flips, sweet boys, and the Speorg Note. Feat. Jenny's father's incomprehensible connections (insert Buzzfeed Unsolved meme here)
