A clever way to credit one of the most joyful giants of jazz, a legendary hip-hop alias inspired by The Art of War, and a mind-bending backstory to go with a country star's pseudonym — these are some of the things covered by the podcast panel in the latest episode of Themes and Variation.

For this one, Mahea and Carter sat down with the always entertaining and ever-insightful Flypaper Editor-in-Chief himself, Mr. Jeremy Young to discuss "Alter Ego Songs." As usual, the episode's theme stirred up a range ideas in each member of the panel, leading to three very different song selections.
