Time: ~30 min.

It’s Episode 92! Scene Mom is BACK! I have missed you! I just got home from the most epic solo cross-country road trip and I am rested, recharged, and ready to jump back in. Got to see so many amazing people, caught some incredible live music, and the desert did its best to completely dehydrate me.

This week's episode is a good one. We've got some big music industry news that has people talking, a marketing tip about getting more reach without spending more money, music history, Arizona indie tracks fresh from the road, and possibly the wildest science story I have ever shared in 92 episodes. You're just going to have to listen to find out what that is. Let’s go!
