We are going a little crazy this week — in a good way. Only one artist interview for the whole episode but it is a doozy. Best yet? Perhaps.

Elizabeth sat down with Tegan and Sara and got a fantastic insight into twin sister dynamic, The Smashing Pumpkins‘ Siamese Dream, Phil Collins melodies, teenage bedrooms, finding self-identity, how to be the change and (for all of you songwriters) the secret to writing a hit pop song. These women have a particularly vibrant and articulate way of voicing their perspective and fighting the good fight. Listen in and catch their buzz on this week’s episode and get a lesson in 80’s-90’s music history while you’re at it.
