Summary
Recently, we put out a song parody in response to Taylor Swift showing up to watch Travis Kelce at the Kansas City Chiefs game. (The rush of a deadline is exciting for Penn’s ADHD brain as well as both of our former news journalist backgrounds.) After we hit publish on the video, we kept getting the same comment: "I wish you would sing every news story!"
On this week’s podcast, we explore the idea of how it would sound if Penn sang the news and he gives us a behind-the-scenes look at his writing process. Listen to the three news stories we sing about and tell us what you think. Should we start making this a regular series? Let us know by calling 323-364-3929 or emailing us at podcast@theholdernessfamily.com. And if you like this podcast, please consider leaving us a review!
