On today’s episode, Know Your Role(s) welcomes singer, songwriter, and vocalist for the all genre encompassing band 79.5, Kate Mattison to the pod! Topics on tap in today’s Bar Talk include the exciting matchups of the NBA Playoffs first round, the upcoming meta meta meta Nic Cage film “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent”, and this week’s Bartender's Choice courtesy of Dave, who brings The Ringer’s “The 50 Greatest Rom-Coms” list to the bar! Kate talks about never giving up, her love for collaborating with other musicians on various projects, and the moment you know you are where you need to be. This week’s game scoops up the tones, as the gang compares soul singers to ice cream flavors, from Irma Thomas’s pralines and cream, to Sharon Jones’s salted caramel, to Curtis Mayfield’s mint chocolate chip. In today’s Last Call, George looks forward to David Simon’s “We Own This City” and George and Dave both get excited for the series adaption of Jon Karakuer's “Under the Banner of Heaven”.
