In the penultimate episode of our first season, we invite Shanna Polley — artist, musician, sound designer, music teacher, and an honorary member of Stanford EdTech, especially given that she’s the newly engaged fiancée of our very own William Bottini — to the café where we discuss her creative process, her auspicious start to songwriting at 13 years old, her artistic inspirations (both famous and non-famous), the fulfilling and challenging aspects of her musical success, and her advice to aspiring young musicians. We also talk about some of her weirdest sound designs, opening up rat brains for research, something about William that we didn't know, and Spongebob the Musical... again!

For our Treat of the Day, we review the snowmen that William photographed in Fort Tryon Park on the first day of snow, which leads to a chat about upcoming Christmas plans and our favorite Christmas traditions. We also catch up on other things about Shanna that we didn't get to, and we even get an update on Jessica's feral cats adjusting to the presence of a dog.

Check out https://snakeskinmusic.bandcamp.com/ to learn more about Shanna & her work. Her newest album, Heart Orb Bone, will be released early 2021.
