Do you ever want just a bite size, cutesy little Bop or Flop episode that only features one of your world famous hosts? Well, we're experimenting with something new. This week Ehren is trying out a new format called "Single Snippet" where there's a single host that talks for less than 30 minutes about an album (or maybe something else, WHO KNOWS!) that they're passionate about. Up first is one of Ehren's absolute favorite albums by one of his absolute favorite artists: The Valley by Betty Who. Listen as he talks about his memories with the album and does a song by song walkthrough of the album.
