Season 2 - Episode 3.5 - Mike talks 90s School Dance Slow Jams

Mike kicks off the first “point fiver” of Season 2.  This one focuses on songs Mike and his contemporaries used to slow dance to (largely at school dances) in middle school and high school during the 1990s.

Full disclosure: some of you may have also slow danced to these songs and if so we hope the memories they bring back are joyful.  They certainly are for Mike D.
