Hey, it's Ophira. This week we're going all the way back to an episode we taped in June of 2016 with hip-hop and bounce queen Big Frida.

If you've been a fan of our show from the beginning, first of all, thank you for listening and enjoy this trip down memory lane.

Here we go.

From NPR and WNYC, coming to you from the Bell House in beautiful Brooklyn, New York.

But you do a little bit of extra to it. And I'm like, wow, is she visiting or is she been here or one?

Oh, no, I don't. your everyday speaking accent. Just like this. But you do a little bit of extra to it.

I'm like, wow, is she visiting or is she been here or one? Oh, no, I don't fake the Irish every day. You don't fake the Irish. When you said you were going to put me on the spot, I thought I'd just jump right in. Yeah, that was great. No, I loved it. Okay, what is the rarest of your areas of expertise?
