For track 6, we welcome Jen Zoratti, columnist for the Winnipeg Free Press. Jen discusses how she covers both the big topics that dominate the public consciousness, and the more obscure stories that lie around the margins. She shares some stories from her days as a music journalist covering concerts, and the time she knew she was in trouble because Lauryn Hill was coming to town. Andy and Jen share their mutual disdain for abusive online commenters, and it becomes the subject of this week's song. Andy also shares some memories of the worst Hallowe'en treats he ever received.

Creative force and total Tech Bro Joel Klaverkamp joins the show for a discussion on machine learning, automation, making music through coding, and a post-scarcity future. Andy and Joel create a song that merges computer drum beats with real human emotion and a bit of 80's melodrama.  Andy also has an update on last week's winter storm. Long story short, it's warm again, the snow is melting, and it feels like Spring, which bad because it's the exact opposite of Spring.
