This is the first of two episodes in which we review some favorite segments of 2020.

We’ll hear J. McVay and Jacqueline Soller’s discussion of the movie ‘Onward’ from back in March, which had the odd distinction of being the last movie chat on this podcast about something they actually saw in theaters before the COVID-19 pandemic triggered lockdowns and quarantines across the country.

Also, we’ll revisit some of our favorite music from the BTR Live Studio series from earlier in the year, along with some favorite segments from the 1st Person storytelling series.

Oh, and a little message and something special at the end…
