[Tapes From The Outside]

Submissions in response to current events
​Accepted year round
Think political. Think mass shooting. Think natural disaster. But also think monumental moments to celebrate. Think Cubs breaking a 108-year-old curse. Think the legalization of something that should have been legal all along. Think levity.
