Next Episode: Portland Underground Grad School; The Slants "The Band Who Must Not Be Named"

The Portland based band, The Slants, have released a new album titled "The Band That Must Not Be Named," a reference to their recent Supreme Court case (and yes, Harry Potter). We talked with all four members of the dance-rock band while they were in Washington D.C. this last week to hear about what life in the Supreme Court spotlight has been like and to get a listen of their new EP. We also talked about their decision to decline an invitation to play for Trump's Asian Pacific American Advisory Committee Inaugural Ball, Simon's NPR fandom, and why the Courtroom of the Supreme Court may have the rarest Pokemon of them all. Music in this segment is from The Slants new album, "The Band That Must Not Be Named." Available now on iTunes, Amazon, and cdbaby.
