PODCASTS
CHIRP Radio's quarterly storytelling & music series The First Time returns with a new cast of storytellers to talk about the theme "First Sign."

Our readers will pair their story with a handpicked song that is then performed by our houseband, The First Time Four (Gerald Dowd, Steve Frisbie, Liam Davis, Scott Stevenson). Here, Alisa tells the story of enrolling in clown school, and how that was the sign she didn't want to be a professional clown. Song choice is "Green Grass" by Tanlines.

The inimitable Alisa Rosenthal introduces Tom and Joe Anderson to the generation-spanning rotoscoped animated journey into the weird, lumpy heart of American music that is Ralph Bakshi's American Pop. Alisa grew up with this strange and unique piece of animation, but will Tom and Joe find it as compelling in the harsh light of the year 2016? Listen as Tom finally uncovers the problem with Nazis, Joe has a Rob Thomas-themed brush with brain damage, and Alisa makes You Don't Understand eligible for the vaunted "history podcast" label for the first time ever. ​
