Dan processes his depression about the Kavanaugh nomination, offers some notes for the producers of Chopped, and talks with one of the biggest pop songwriters in the world, Justin Tranter, about his early years playing Dean Johnson's HOMOCORE, hosting Justin Tranter's Flaming Sundays at Sidewalk Cafe, dealing with industry homophobia in his band Semi-Precious Weapons, the differences between writing for other people and performing his own work, and using his success to champion artists like Shea Diamond, the first out Black trans woman on a major label.
