Description
Jordan and Alex move the pod to an an-up-and-coming Chicago neighborhood—ah, it's already been gentrified. Well, they'll self-soothe by immersing themselves in a beloved chronicle of a similarly bygone era, Liz Phair's "Exile in Guyville!" From a quick history of the Chicago indie scene that birthed the record, to the myriad of odd sonic tricks that make up its production, to the kinda-weird lengths Phair went to in order to tweak the Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main Street," not a single cobblestone of Guyville remains unturned. They'll also tackle the backlash Phair faced once her record broke big, the *other* backlash she faced a decade later later when she pivoted her sound, and make Jordan uncomfortable with some of Phair's patented sexually explicit lyrics!
