Welcome back to your favorite station, CWTA in the morning with Joe and The Sturge!

Jem S1E23 - The Jem Jam: Pt. 1

August 03, 2016 21:24 - 1 hour - 60.4 MB

Two part episodes? You know what that means -- orphan subplot! Clash is the worst person in the world and we coin the phrase ‘Hologram Jam’. Get underwhelmingly kidnapped by The Misfits on this week’s CWTAJ! Our weekly Jem song is ‘I Can See Me’ and CWTA Podcast’s intro/outro song is ‘Bizarre Dub Triangle’, by New Order.

Jem S1E22 - Intrigue at the Indy 500

July 28, 2016 01:38 - 1 hour - 61.9 MB

Aja is denied an episode of her own this week as something with racecars happens. I think Mario Andretti is involved? Either way, Jem is apparently qualified to drive in the Indy 500! Eat your heart out, Danica Patrick. Our weekly Jem song is ‘I’m Coming From Behind’, performed by Britta Phillips and this episode’s transition songs are 'Let's Go Away', 'Start Your Engines', and 'Pounding Pavement' all by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi from Daytona USA.
