Nora Mae and Roger Weeks are two  artists — singer-songwriters trying to make sense of art, life, and everything in between — and this is what it sounds like when they stop working and just talk. Pull up a seat on the couch: TV, film, pop culture, spirituality, whatever's on their minds that week. No format, no plan, just two friends doing their best.
