Season 5 Episode 6! Cleared for Departure: Discussing Our Favorite Songs for the Airport By Artists Like Talking Heads, Simon & Garfunkel, A Tribe Called Quest and More
Pack your bags and get ready for takeoff! No, Adrienne and Katarina haven’t gone completely stir-crazy; this week, Rhapsody in Reverie is headed to the airport as we talk about Travel Songs! We may be stuck at home, but this playlist is sure to make you feel like you’re off on an adventure with hits from Night Beds, Chet Faker, A Tribe Called Quest, Wham, Simon & Garfunkel, and many more! Adrienne and Katarina help you get in the zone by reminding us all what it was like to sail the skies, from the irritating TSA lines, to the liminal space of the airport food court, to resist the urge to look at your seatmate’s laptop: you’ll swear you were right up there with them.
