Musical artist Dessa joins us today, along with Glynn Washington, host of the public radio show Snap Judgment. We discuss the “pandemic wall” (you know the one), former President Barack Obama’s new podcast with Bruce Springsteen, and the story of a young man who really didn’t want to go to work one day.

Then, we hear from a woman who wakes up every morning before sunrise to take a dip in the icy waters of Lake Michigan.

Plus, Eliana Dockterman, a pop culture writer for TIME, stops by to discuss the wonder and the weirdness of the Golden Globes.
