It's a covers only episode! You'll remember that last July in Chicago, Spencer Parks, Rachel Jones, Bob Nanna, Marcus Nuccio and I did a LIVE episode on Birdhouse in Your Soul. Covers sections don't work well in front of a crowd, but I figured it would be a shame to not curate and talk about a selection of Birdhouse covers since there is such a wealth to choose from! So Spencer and Rachel join me once again and we each pick and discuss our top 3 Birdhouse covers, with some honorable mentions as well.

Many props are given to Danny Weinkauf throughout the episode as we dissect what makes this a perfect kids song, and we find a lot of charming covers including one by Greg's 1st graders from earlier this spring.
