Hosts Nic Houle, Steven Eiler, and Joel Harrison each bring their love of mewithoutYou and some specific expertise to their song-by-song analysis of the mewithoutYou discography.

This is one we know a lot of you have been waiting for! In addition to this being our usual sidewinding fare, we also have, for the first time ever on the podcast, a guest to help us break down this track! Garrett Mikulka is a long-time listener who reached out to us way at the beginning of the podcast to share some thoughts and mention that he had A LOT of thoughts on this track. After some back and forth over the years, we decided he just needed to come on the pod to talk about those thoughts. Garrett was an English PhD student who worked on fables and myths and he brings a lot of really useful insight to the storytelling, the use of talking animals, and the possible morals at play here.
