Ok hi.... yes it is weird that we waited almost a full calendar month to release Part 2 of our Year End Extravaganza - but in the words of Britney Spears, that's our prerogative!!!!!! Everything we do is a choice, and frankly that should be celebrated. In this fashionably late episode, Sam and Elana talk about their favorite albums of 2020 and get *EARNEST* about the music they love. Shifting from first to third person in the middle of an episode description? Legendary, obv. --- Follow us on twitter @wratpod @elana_desantis @_samhoban_ Email us at wratpod@gmail.com Or just text us! You have our phone numbers!
In PART 1 of our YEAR END EXTRAVAGANZA, Sam and Elana discuss their personal Top 10 songs of the year with no accountability to journalistic integrity or responsibility for using a metric other than the songs that made them feel ... something !!
