More Adventurous (Rilo Kiley)

With every broken heart, We should become more adventurous. Randy and Kris are joined by beloved Podlings Madison Charbonneau and Stevie Gonzales to step back in time to the mid-2000s and celebrate Rilo Kiley’s definitive 2004 album, More Adventurous. Not only does the episode serve as an impromptu college reunion for Randy, Madison, and Stevie, but it also allows three old friends to introduce Kris to a band that helped each of them get in touch with the identity of the person they were becoming twenty years ago. In addition to capturing the special appeal of actress/frontwoman Jenny Diane Lewis and the unique vibe and chemistry of the band, the panel also identifies ideal listening conditions for the album, ranks all eleven tracks, and drops some recommended follow-up listening. It's not a hit, it's a holiday. Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby. Want to get in touch? Visit our⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!
