eTown welcomes two exciting ‘first-timers’ for this week’s on-air broadcast/podcast.

This week, eTown airs yet another thrilling show full of two artists with very different styles and two wonderfully captured conversations.  Not only did director Lois Psihoyos (of the acclaimed documentary The Cove) and e-Chievement winner Sharon Black (of the Kau Kau Wagon) sit down to chat, but eTown also welcomed the stompin’- swaggerin’ Dave [...]
