About this episode

The episode explores the 90s swing revival through the lens of Cherry Poppin Daddies' album Zoot Suit Riot.

This week the podcast attempts to understand the 90s swing revival through the music of Cherry Poppin Daddies and their opportunistic album Zoot Suit Riot, released March 18, 1997. In this episode we discuss 40s slang, Tim's growing sense of guilt about a number of things, Cal Harris and his alleged guilt, a fierce debate over what "swing" music is, the movie Blast from the Past, what does it mean to roll a jelly, even more 40s slang (it gets old), quicksand videos, polygamy, and so much more!
