Many moons ago, host Jason Jaspersen teamed up with the Kratz sisters (Lydia and Norah) to determine in the most meta of fashions how a potential spring semester podcast was going to look. In the late hours of the night on a random Thursday, the three sat in the Bethany Lutheran College podcast studio to determine the name, theme, and stance of a podcast that they'd hope to continue throughout the following months. Enjoy the process that many artists go through when first beginning a project, and stay tuned this fall for Season II of Whistle the Feast!
