we're embracing our inner lottery and gambling spirit with the fourth season of the pod. (if you don't want to have the theme spoiled, just listen to the episode.) years ago, sufjan stevens vowed to write an album for every u.s. state. he made two then bailed. we plan to outdo him. (thus the season's theme: "suck shit sufjan stevens.") we're unveiling which state will be covered in the (shortened) fourth season of the pod with a bit of gambling, a new mixer and soundboard, and some great foley work.
