Show Notes
Well friends, I think we did it. Stay all the way to the end for a big surprise out of Uncle Jerry.
In this episode, we're covering one of Angela's favorite TTPD tracks, Peter. Uncle Jerry finds layer after layer in the poem, and decides that this is a beautiful, melancholic reflection on the loss of innocence and youth, told through the lens of Peter Pan.

Well, guys, we’ve really stressed Uncle Jerry out with this one.
