Fleet Foxes formed in Seattle, Washington in 2006. In 2011, they put out their second record, which was nominated for a Grammy, and then, the band went on hiatus. The lead singer and songwriter, Robin Pecknold, moved to New York to go to Columbia University. After six years, in 2017, the band returned with their third album, Crack-Up. And in this episode, Robin breaks down a song from that record called “Mearcstapa.”

Shawn is out with a new collection of political musings, Night Thoughts, which address everything from inequality to the changing climate.
In the Spiel, Travis Kalanick, don’t let the cab door hit you on the way out.
