Hey everybody, it's your boy, Ethan.

I am sitting here in my home here in Manhattan, Kansas.

I just got moved in.

I was editing the podcast, and I figured I'd give you guys a little down low on the news. What's hip and happening here on The Crunch. So first of all, we've got our interview coming up with Mikey Needleman. It's a really good one. You guys are really going to enjoy it. We talk a lot about liturgy and music and how all those things work together because that's definitely a hot topic on Twitter. And I think questions

that a lot of people have about, you know, why music is done certain ways in Paris settings

and why music is written and why ministers will pick certain songs. Mikey really goes over a lot

of that stuff and it's actually pretty interesting,

at least for me.

I thought it was interesting.

You might hate it, but don't tell me you're Mikey.

But in order to support Mikey, we have a little contest going on.

I have his album sitting right next to me that I'm ready and willing to mail out anywhere you live domestically.

To whoever either, so you're going to be entered into a drawing, right? So if you share our Facebook post that has Mikey's album on it,

if you tweet with hashtag the crunch, or if you leave us a review on iTunes and all of those,

we're going to jumble them together and we'll do

kind of a random generator and whoever wins will get the album mailed to them and it's a really

great album Mikey does such a good job it's it's he's a great songwriter so if you're you should

check him out on Spotify and then enter the contest and then win the album, and I'll send

it to you, and I'll probably include a little crunch swag, if you will. So, do those things,

listen to the episode, enjoy it. We had a really whack set up for this episode. So if the audio

is a bit quiet, I really apologize. I've had a few comments about the audio quality lately.

We're really doing the best that we can to make sure that it all works out.
