We Love That!: Recent Episodes
Kenyon & Jerome
A weekly podcast where Jerome Walker and Kenyon Duncan talk about stuff they love and stuff you should love too.
Art by Griffin Keller Music by Sofía Campoamor
Back on the cast this week is our collaborator through time and space and ERAS of our lives, singer-songwriter and wizard of discernment, Sofía Campoamor! We get an inside, retrospective look at Sofía's most studio project, "if you knew, i couldn't tell," including turning Wordle games into songs (and content!), world-building with friend of the pod Chris Peters, and an early ideation of this album that was all-oatmeal concept. Hopefully listening to this episode strengthens your instincts, or at least flexes your listening muscles. And we can't think of a better workout than that!Follow Sofía!https://www.instagram.com/sofia.campoamorhttps://www.tiktok.com/@sofia.campoamorhttps://www.sofiacampoamor.com/https://linktr.ee/sofiacampoamorStream "if you knew, i couldn't tell"https://open.spotify.com/album/6zovut7XunZipJIbBXh2YG?si=cd4c1df138444b95https://music.apple.com/us/album/if-you-knew-i-couldnt-tell/1656468353
So much culture today! From swapping to catching up, there's culture all over the place. And there was music, and there were wonderful roses... speaking of standards and melodies! Jerome listened to Judy at Carnegie Hall, and Kenyon listened to A Strange Loop, and both have prepared book reports on their subjects. The two also remark on the simplicity of Tár, the complexity of Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Kenyon shares a tribute to his penpal and yours, Ryuichi Sakamoto. This may seem like an ambitious setlist of topics for the pod, but we pull it off stunningly.Fact Chequé:While Lydia Tár canonically conducts the Berlin Philharmonic, it was the Dresden Philharmonic who played and appeared in the film.Playing the Piano -- Ryuichi SakamotoSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/1Gnw4Sce4RzKXgvUN6seRd?si=kzcLrQOpRCuyYdU2w73UTQ&dd=1Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/playing-the-piano/1581111685A Strange Loop by Michael R.

Are you ready for a true masterclass?? This week we have multi-hyphenate and MUNA-stan Matt Goldstein on the podcast, and yes, we cover all the topics you’d expect three iconic arrangers to discuss: key change theories, Eric Whitacre-inspired social media usernames, and facilitating from the page. We also dive into Matt’s work creating and leading the Gaia Music Collective and learn about how circle-singing and vocal improvisation guide him as a music director. We’re calling all the sensitive listeners, all the choir and a cappella nerds, all the preschoolers revealing their inner selves out there: it’s time to be free, wild, silly, and emotional!

What is a singer if not a voice? And what is this podcast if not two voices, who happen to belong to singers, picking apart yet another Rolling Stone All-Time list. We take umbrage, embrace vagueries, and rail against this list's many mistakes -- which is not surprising, because we famously hate hierarchies. The episode kind of writes itself in that way. But we keep things both expressive AND effusive throughout, without ever hiccuping or choking up even once. After all, we do have to live in a serious ethos.

We're Blaaaaaaaack!!! You know we couldn't stay away forever. Your two favorite gals are Black in the habit and back to all their old chestnuts -- Marianne Williamson's "Girlfriend, you are so on," Elastigirl's "I don't think so... I don't think so," and all the rest. In our grand return episode, we're celebrating the culmination of Black History Month by being iconic in these streets, finding the difference between lexicon and anthology, thanking VFX studios, the backbone of Hollywood, and recapping the many many things we missed: Tár, Avatar, Ruth Paul's Drag Race, Amber Riley on the Masked Singer, and much more. Plus, Jerome reveals his secret past life as a Boy Scout, Kenyon goes karoling, and we assign each other a bit of an assignment... Girlfriend, it is so good to be back on the air again!How Long 'til Black Future Month? by N. K.

This week, we are not talking about that thing. No, really. We're not. Instead, we remark on the prevalence of clowns, do another round of Pixar predictions, and think about how the metaverse will distort our perception of distance. Because when you think about it, the Oscars are a Civil War of their own, right? ... anyway, social media has made us audience to everything which includes you being audience to this podcast. Going live in three, two...
Fact Chequé: Van Morrison is in fact one person.

Summer looms, winter unends, and your two favorite crazy old ladies are back to discuss all the news that's fit to print: what's been going on at the library, queer bullies on television, and making money off of RuPaul's Drag Race. It's taken us a...moment to get this episode out, but you can just chalk it up to moving slowly! You should try it sometime. These are the best years of your life, after all.

There's so much happening in this episode, it will be hard to give this description a structure! But let's start with the content: firstly, we've got special correspondent hopeful and one of our favorite lyricists Chris Peters on the pod this week, which is its own special treat. And we're talking about tons of things, like why Chris wasn't a music major, how he would format his Genius page, and the surprising similarities between a song and a falafel sandwich, all while we discuss lyrical structure. So if you're debating between a bridge and a third verse, or just not sure what chiasma is, tune in! And as a special treat, drink every time you think, "Well, it's contextual."

With Oscars on the brain and some s'wintry weather overhead, that can only mean one thing: it's Black History Month! After we get swept up in the mess of the Academy Awards and white people accepting apologies, we dive into some texts by Black authors to reflect on history, memory, and how we exist after death. If you've been grappling with the messiness of the diaspora or other people's versions of ourselves or the elasticity of history right now... well first, take a deep breath. But then listen to this episode!

This episode kicks off a series we're beginning on the podcast all about lyrics. And today's theme: rhyme! Don't you love a good rhyme?? We're putting a lot on the table, from our personal definitions of rhyme (in addition to some more famous ones) to the non-universality of pronunciation, and others of the many ways words can connect. Also included: Oklahoma slander on Euphoria, Rihanna's baby, and anti-rhyme sentiment in pop music. Rhyme is about organizing attention, and it's time for you to organize your attention toward this episode!

Today isn't any other day. It's never tomorrow and always today which must mean the topic for today is... tomorrow! We're talking pasts, futures & presents, celebrating a specific anniversary, casting Cynthia and Ariana in everything, and addressing the Eminem question (which is separate from 2Ms, 2Rs) as we dissect Mx. Tomorrow and all the usages it has used, accrued, and divested, even. And will we ever understand exactly HOW long 10.6 billion minutes is? We won't today, but Maybe Tomorrow. Recorded live from We Love That Studios.
Fact Chequé: Michael Jackson was 12 (not 9, Kenyon!) when he recorded "Maybe Tomorrow" with The Jackson 5.

2022 is the new girl, which means it's time to get absolutely AGENTIAL up in here. And to be as broad as possible and specific in those broad ways, we discuss resolutions vs. intentions, being 25, Kenyon's (dis)taste for books, Jerome's timeless, middle school yearbook message, and anything else blowing in on the digital winds of Twitter. And weddings! It's wedding szn! And also Aquarius szn! Get Agential! #GetAgentialIn2022

Well this week is all about our new favorite movie, West Side Story, of course. It also heavily features Jerome's new enemy, whom we're calling Jordan. Public Enemy #1. But we've got some real tears for the craft, as we literally map out when we cried during the movie, break down the queerness of Anybodys, witness some real Anita on Anita action, obsess over Ariana DeBose, the new superstar of the world, and even make an unexpected reference to Holes that you'll just have to hear to believe.

It's episode 73... a most magical number... This week Kenyon and Jerome both receive a special visit from a jolly and curious fellow, and we don't mean Santa! We're getting a taste of the 73 Questions treatment, and rehash our affinity for letters, normalize changing our minds, and get introduced to a whole family of Paulas.

This week is all about honoring the little life moments: the ones we were gifted by the late, great Stephen Sondheim, as well as the ones that Spotify and/or Apple Music have been tracking all year. We imagine ourselves in the Jetsons-verse, walk through our favorite Sondheim songs, uphold the accuracy of data, and learn a lesson that Steve would be proud of: giving is taking, and taking is giving! And whether you're happy & uplifting or just laidback and diffuse, we know that in every phase, you get obsessed with the moment. James Lapine, call us.

So much to talk about in our lives, so much to talk about in the world. Or is there? With unremarkable Grammy nominations announced this week and grad school looming on the horizon, this week we're just having a lovely chat about the future. Plus, there are movies we haven't yet seen that deserve our reviews! Enjoy this, our sole contribution to the Thanksgiving table this year.

Jerome's predictions have come true: Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande have been cast in the Wicked movie. And that can only mean one thing -- it's time for a full deep dive on movie musicals! We're going over everything from oversaturation in In the Heights to our newfound love of Fiddler on the Roof. A hot take about The Prom is shared, though it is separate from the James Corden of it all. And most importantly, remember this: a stage is bigger than a bodega. Say it with me. A stage is bigger than a bodega!!

That's right. You read correctly. This week is all about sports. And... theater? Hard to tell. Between the technobabble of the Metaverse and the advent of Kenyon's favorite month we're ending our #NetflixIsOverParty Party, diving into Colin Kaepernick and Ava DuVernay's Colin in Black and White, Untold: Malice at the Palace, and asking questions about audience, controversy, and consumption. And the questions really abound for us in this one.

This Listening Hour is Rated R for suggestive themes and ...gore? Listener beware! This week we're being big and going live from coast to coast once more. It's the premiere of Kenyon in the Mary Poppins musical, it's the dental episode, it's Yebba vs. Adele, it's alchemical, some might say. You've been warned.

Imagine you're in a world where the Truman Show is real but it's starring Jerome and Kenyon. Well that world is basically this one, because this episode is an hour of totally unfiltered, highly caffeinated, rousing discussion of prom traditions and Chipotle culture. We also deliver our weekly digest on Lady Gaga, including our reactions to Dawn of Chromatica, all while being haunted by the Oddum (sp?) Bride. Well done, Sister Suffragette! Well done indeed.

After debriefing an interaction with one of the The Girls (who are Girling About), Jerome and Kenyon take a look back at 9/11 on its 20th anniversary and the United States military withdrawal from Afghanistan this summer. What do we remember when we never forget? Where do we want our leaders to lead us? And how do we develop a culture that really grapples with grief? We're not sure, but hey, we're trying to ask the questions.

This episode has something familiar, something peculiar... the gals have finally reunited! And we're back to all of our old hobbies: when we're not plotting our paths to EGOT, Jerome is indulging in his morbid curiosity while Kenyon vents about the struggles of fame. And what IS the most you'd pay for an ice cream cone? Or rather, for a sorbet in a cup?? These and other important questions await you inside.... And always remember; If you've got it, flaunt it. And if you hot it, haunt it.

The circus must have come to our town, because everyone is most certainly acting like a clown. Take it from the two clowns who host this podcast! There's clownery happening in recent popular music and white clownery in The White Lotus and the clown responses that followed. Someone cue up A Little Night Music. We're getting into everything from the mechanics of living colonialism to the Trouble of weaponizing criticism. Trouble with a capital 'T' and that rhymes with 'C' and that stands for clown.

My my my, what a treat we have on the podcast this week. It's folky musical theater kid (or musical theater folk kid) R.O. Shapiro! And whether you're feeling judgy suspicious or skeptical curious, you're sure to love this one. R.O. is carving out new Americana music and tells us about the ancient work of sharing songs and stories across the country, explains how to get the best sounds out of a harmonica, contemplates the timescale of human existence with the magnificent tree(s) of Pando, and predicts the inevitable Costco weed line: Kirkland Kush.

No pictures, please! This week's episode is absolutely stacked with a superstar line-up, and that's after we finish talking about all the celebrities who should stop talking (and the ones we wish would never stop... we're looking at you Gaga...). We're talking about the star-studded Questlove documentary Summer of Soul, and discover not much has changed in 50 years -- iconic duets from Black women are still the tea, white people are still going into space, Jerome has a crush on Black political leaders, and Lin-Manuel is still making surprise appearances. The Hamilton episode... we can smell it...

Dear listeners, there's someone we'd like to introduce you to: her name is Daphne Gale and she absolutely is the moment! We've spent some time this year talking with our dear friend Daphne as she's been collaborating, recording, mixing, and releasing her new album, Nomadder! The first two of our interviews are in this episode, and you can hear all about how she learned to strum, treating the songwriting space as sacred, fending off jazz bros, getting naked in the recording studio, and lots and lots of extended metaphor for music as cooking. Plus, you know these were recorded a long time ago because Jerome starts talking about it being the late winter and who can remember when that was! Follow the fun and listen in, divas! And go stream the album!!

Santa Mozzarella!! If you're looking for something delicious, nutritious, ambitious, superstitious, and nutritious again, then you've come to the right place. We're talking about the gays that may or may not be in Luca, the Miyazaki influence that may or may not be in Pixar, and Ted Allen who may or may not be in Toy Story (spoiler alert: he's not. That's Tim Allen. Boo!) So #staytuned for all the Pixar your heart can handle, and sign our petition to make a live-action Cars movie. It's what the people want!

Are you ready kids?? If you could gaze into the future... you'd know that this week's episode is a story all about how much we love and live for theme songs! We're two basic average girls, average kids that no one understands, but everything is absolutely NOT what it seems. Talk about a two way twister! We're rating our favorite TV show themes along some hard hitting criteria, and sometimes you get the best of both worlds. Sometimes the grass is much greener on the other side... But at the end of the day, there's no theme song we love as much as YOU, darling dears.
Fact Chequé: The original run of Fairly OddParents is no longer making new episodes, but there is a live action reboot coming later this year to Paramount+.

This week, we're making our (and your!) dreams come true. Some people are born with gender, and some have gender thrust upon them, but most of us have to wear the chunky, chunky jeans from JCPenney until we can figure it out. And when we're not clearing the clouds of gender with our fashion sense, we're discussing Pixar's new gay movie (which we don't actually discuss?) and Carl Nassib, who really puts the F in NFL. We actually talk quite a bit about sports in this episode... groundbreaking.

We're back, and this week we're louder and prouder than ever! We do a quick roundup of all the things bringing us back to Netflix (Feel Good, Special, Inside) and then dive into all things visible and invisible (and indivisible!) in the queer community. What can society learn from queer communities? Who did we learn our queerness from? Who lives who dies who tells your story??? No, not the Hamilton episode yet. The Queer Theory episode!
Fact Chequé: Jerome meant to say that Special was the first time he had seen a good faith depiction of a polyamorous relationship on screen, not that Special was the first to do this. Too busy talking theory to communicate simple thoughts!

Pride Month endures and so do we, henny. This week we're shaking it up with a Britney-related hot take from Jerome (don't worry, we still talk about Gaga) before diving into our personal Pride origins, establishing what counts as a Pride carol, and breaking down how we celebrate personal pride. And, oh god -- is Pride the new Valentine's Day?? Must be the Q3 of the witch, and that's all we can say on THAT one.

Happy Pride Month, everyone! We've got a whole slate of queer topics on the boards today, including the Friends reunion, Reese Witherspoon's Oscar, professional sports, and the one time Jerome had to go condom shopping in front of a room of ninth graders. We (as always) are breaking down sex shame, defending Black women, and talking about what Lady Gaga's been up to, so you really get your money's worth on this episode. And also Kenyon introduces us to a terrifying children's program from 1969? 1969... Stonewall... Sex... it all comes together.

This week we are joined by composer-performer and Tommy-enthusiast Tanner Porter, and to be honest, together we are a trio of good, talented singers. We ask Tanner about how she wrote a new commissioned piece over Zoom, talk about the writing process on her upcoming album and musical, and send some love to Laura Mvula. This episode has everything from the Great Voice Memo Challenge to studies on the efficacy of microdosing sleep, and we officially establish ourselves as an anti-Sony podcast. Don't call us, Sony execs!!

This week continues to be a day for celebration as we complete our binary episode. Two episodes that orbit around each other just as a binary star system might. And speaking of binary stars, we are two stars who are here to give you everything from reflection on middle school science to general esotericism throughout. We announce our NPR debut, declare the decline of Netflix, cancel our NFT plans, and we hear what Kenyon's been waiting his whole life to say: "I am Groove."

We Love That (and Kenyon) are both celebrating their 50th birthday this week! Can you believe we made it this far?? In honor of our 50th episode, we're doing what we do best around here: we're putting some absolute respect onto the binaries in and around us. Listen in as we dive into our treasure trove of episodes and finally draw the line between hiatus and return, the Grinch and Cindy Lou Who, Kamala Harris and Susan Rice, and who gets to be rhythm? We also reveal our favorite episode, tease our upcoming commemorative NFTs (whatever those are), and Kenyon learns something new about Beyoncé, if that's even possible.

This week we're really touching on all the news that's fit to print. Everything from continued Lady Gaga discourse, including her upcoming role in An Extremely Gucci Movie opposite Academy Award nominee Jordan Brody, to critically informed creative practices with Esperanza Spalding, to even the most fundamental of all questions: What do Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick talk about?? We take a tour of what we've been listening to and also a tour of our closets, in which we'd like to see a refresher. And, as always: Dive Deep, Fall Hard, and Got Good. Amen.

If you wanna be startin' something, you've got to be ABOLISHING something. This week we're decompressing from the verdict in the murder of George Floyd and the continued murder of Black people by the state, and we break down why we need to defund and abolish the police, reminding ourselves that things actually do change from time to time, and bring out the big questions: Is there power in mobilization? Are we embarrassed, disgusted, or something else? And at the end of the day, does this have anything to do with anything???

This week we are joined by Lianne fan, truth teller, pitch accurate queen, and avid listener of the podcast, Emil Beckford! And he's NOT gonna write you a love song... at least not in the traditional sense. After Jerome comes out as a secret Drake stan, we parse out vinyl culture (aspirational) vs. radio culture (polarizing), and walk you through all of our formative childhood television shows, from Blues Clues to Steven Universe. This is secretly a Steven Universe podcast, after all. Emil reveals what it's like to get vulnerable with every facet of himself on his new album, where he writes all his best stuff (it's the shower), and how you can preorder a musical polaroid from him!
Fact Chequé: Estelle's most recent album, "Lovers Rock," was released in 2018.

Hair. It's important! This week we're breaking out our brushes and dusting off the conditioner to talk all things hair: our hair journeys, indecipherable barbershop code (hair and gender...there's so much there), celebrity hair goals, and The Roots, if you know what I mean. We also give solutions for bad hair days, pitch some new color dye ideas, Kenyon lies to be supportive, Jerome accuses Kenyon's father of being the devil, and we finally bring up the ultimate binary: Sex and the City vs Chowder.

We'd say this episode is really good, but what does "really good" even mean?? We've got special guest, government expert, aspiring pop star, and Desire major Raffi Donatich on the pod this week to talk about....truly everything. Our obsession with music documentaries. Short attention spans in current events and in intimacy. Raffi's villain origin story involving a maypole and a Zac Efron lookalike. And as always, we talk about process! So tune in, stop thinking and start FEELING, mother!

I mean, what did you think we were gonna talk about this week?? We're talking about the biggest scandal of the week other than Jerome getting a Spotify Premium account. Lil Nas X reset the culture with his new devilish music video, and we're diving into everything: the cinematic parallels, God's alleged pettiness, conservatives grasping at straws, and yes, we address the shoes. Oh, and also: we wanted to title this one We Love Satan but went in a different direction. But you can imagine we did.

Listen in for how quarantine has shaped our understanding of bystanding, the importance of paying attention to language, what to do when you find yourself participating in white supremacy, and why carrying a sense of humility continues to be so important.

Hey there! This episode is both tight and mad dope, but if it were either red or green Kenyon would not be able to tell the difference. Jerome gets gay tenure, we defend Jacob Collier (as always), and tap into Oprah's most recent freelance work. But seriously, connecting the dots between Meghan and Diana and Britney and Mariah?? You've gotta tune into this one, babes.

A lot to say here. First of all, we're back. Second of all, it's still the season of the mask. We recap all kinds of relevant topics, such as The Weeknd's halftime show and also a Sesame Street video that Jerome can't get enough of. We also discuss Kenyon's 40th birthday (soon) and Jerome's 60th (far), how to blow a $10 million budget, and we finally learn the truth behind bonhumora.

Our guest this week is future children's book author and aspiring Dr. Doolittle, Haja Kamara! Tune in for an analytical look at The Lion King, the real meaning of VFD, and what we can learn from Punxsutawney Phil, all wrapped up in embracing desire and turning our flesh prisons into flesh gateways. Not to mention, we've got three iconic queens and Friends of the Pod: Natasha Bedingfield, Vanessa Carlton, and Mary Pope Osborne.

We're talking New York, we're talking visual art, we're talking Tumblr culture, and then we're talking New York some more. Our guest this week is writer, artist, eater and yoga-doer, Isis Davis-Marks! Isis talks us through seeking pleasure and bringing Black frivolity to art, and she also asks that you stop using words if you don't know what they mean. So stop!

This week we're kicking off Black History Month with visiting professor, high note ambassador, and loaf queen, David Washington! And it is indeed both a good week AND a good month. We're throwing out taste in exchange for talent and discussing everything from the Glee Smule App to representation by Oprah, we pass the Beyoncé stan bill and the Beanie Baby resolution, and it's all wrapped up in an audit from the DJW School of Belting. So bust out your WWDWD40, because this episode is a good one! Jerome literally gags on the vocal technique at several points. And brace yourselves, because David might be getting cancelled by the basses after this one...

2 Personalities, 2 Quizzes, 2 Furious. And everybody loves a good sequel! This week we're diving back into the world of personality quizzes between conversations about Lady Gaga albums, praise of Jazmine Sullivan, and avoiding the topic of body rolls in general. Other gems include: everyone's a doctor according to Jerome, so be sure to take your met-i-sin; throw out your copy of Grapes of Wrath, and replace it with Words of Aff; and delightful parallel mentions of Macaroni Grill crayons and extraversion olive oil. And that's all she wrote on THAT one, darling dear.

We have arrived at the final episode of the year, and to mark the occasion Jerome and Kenyon are taking a look back at all the things they got up to in 2020! Jerome debuts his remix of a Rogers & Hammerstein classic, and Kenyon professes his enduring love for the present moment. And what year-in-review would be complete without a redacted thank you speech to George Lucas? We're so glad you asked.
