And now for something completely different! While we take a week off to adjust our recording schedule, here’s a solo project in which Chris documents the soundtrack to her post-holiday drive back to school. Along the way, find out why we talk about Sufjan Stevens so much, how Muse inspires her to step outside her comfort zone, and how she learned to stop worrying and love pop music. And Troye Sivan.

The goofs are back January 22, but in the meantime, we hope you’ll enjoy our most contemplative episode (so far).
