In our latest episode of No Wristbands! After Hours, we got a chance to talk with two of our favorite people over at CHIRP radio - Jenn Sodini and Shawn Campbell. Jenn is the host of the fantastic CHIRP in-person storytelling and music event, The First Time. We chatted with Shawn and Jenn about what's involved in putting together that quarterly show. The next live performance is Wednesday, November 29th at 7:30 pm at Martyrs'. You can get more info about the show here: https://firsttime.chirpradio.org/.
