About this episode

Nora and Nathan discuss two influential albums, 'The Spirit Room' by Michelle Branch and 'So' by Peter Gabriel, exploring their significance in music history.

First up, Michelle Branch's 2001 album 'The Spirit Room,' an alt-rock album important to Zillenial women everywhere (1:00). Next, Peter Gabriel's 1986 album 'So', an album that soundtracked the '80s (38:42).Hosts: Nora Princiotti and Nathan HubbardProducer: Kaya McMullen Learn more about your ad choices.
