Coplan Cabana

Welcome to the Coplan Cabana Season 2 Episode 18.  If you follow the podcast, you will know that Kim did not finish the editing for Episode 18 on its regularly scheduled posting day.  The reason is it was Mother’s Day and she ran out of time.  In this episode, you will hear that we are not recording on May 19th.  Because we missed posting last week, you will not miss another week even though we will not record on May 19th.  Kim will have an extra episode to post on Sunday May 24th.  Other topics covered in this episode are Kim and Elle’s trip to the pin trading event, the Kentucky Derby, and the ranking of albums by the Fall Out Boys.  Anna and Lil rank based on the actual music where Elle ranks the albums based on the look of the album cover.  Thank you as always for your support.  Podcast y’all later.
