We are back to preview Hulaween with our new friend Caroline Herbster from Rising Tide Art Studio! Caroline shares what makes Hulaween such a special annual tradition for her, along with some great advice for first timers to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park.

The episode then pivots where Mike & Alex get to know Caroline a little bit better and talk about her work at Rising Tide Art Studio, the fan art scene, and how the music of Goose has impacted her life. It was such a fun conversation that the time flew by and got away from everyone.

Alex & Mike are back with a more laid back episode to discuss some of the songs that we think that Goose should cover.

We're definitely going to need to make this a multi-part series, so feel free to e-mail us or message us your suggestions for songs you think that Goose would crush!
