Welcome to No. 27! We've made it to the 27 club...hopefully we'll make it out alive. (Please tell us someone understands this reference!)

Burleigh also introduced Antonin Dvorak to Black American music. How have we never heard of him before?? In the second half, we discuss the idea of perfectionism and how we've dealt with it in our studies. As always, wear a mask and stay safe! Instagram: @outoftunepod
