"J. McVay and Joe Virgillito discuss events that have developed since November. Needless to say, there’s a lot to cover–from the various attempts by the sitting President of the United States to overturn a legitimate election up through this week’s two US Senate races in Georgia and the the storming of the Capitol in Washington DC by supporters of Donald Trump unhappy as Congress was in session to certify the Electoral College vote won by Joe Biden.

Plus music from artists Erin Frisby and Gold Connections, both recorded exclusively for BTRtoday, toward the end of the show.

"This is the first of two episodes in which we review some favorite segments of 2020.

We’ll hear J. McVay and Jacqueline Soller’s discussion of the movie ‘Onward’ from back in March, which had the odd distinction of being the last movie chat on this podcast about something they actually saw in theaters before the COVID-19 pandemic triggered lockdowns and quarantines across the country.

Also, we’ll revisit some of our favorite music from the BTR Live Studio series from earlier in the year, along with some favorite segments from the 1st Person storytelling series.

Oh, and a little message and something special at the end...
