I Brake For Baked Goods

In the season five finale—the 30th episode overall (a landmark?), and the sixth episode this time around, Kevin welcomes illustrious guest Anika Pyle to the virtual building. A member of the beloved but long defunct pop-punk outfit Chumped, and the leader for the equally as poppy and punky group Katie Ellen, Pyle spent 2020 crafting her solo debut, Wild River. The two talk about the album, remaining creative during a fucking pandemic, vegan food, and the gender politics of pop music.
