Cool Playlist Live! Songs You Sing To Get Amped Up When You Have To Do Something You’re Nervous About. We did a live show at UCB East with Alison Leiby (The President Show), Michael Cruz Kayne (The Chris Gethard Show), Josh Gondelman (Last Week Tonight With John Oliver) and friend of the show Julian Velard (The Wrap Up Show.)

Eliot Glazer (Broad City, Teachers, You're Making It Worse) is more than just a funny guy - he's a former college a cappella star. He's also a passionate solo singer, so he asked to make a playlist for "solo karaoke" and that's what we did.

Alison Becker (Parks And Recreation, Kroll Show, Curb Your Enthusiasm) has created many memorable characters, but she's gotten good at letting go of the past. She asked to make a playlist for "Dropping Off a Bag of Clothes at Goodwill* (that you know are out of style but you’ll still deeply miss)" - which is just the kind of specificity we love. We talked about hoarding, ending things so you can begin others, Bon Jovi, and Starlight Express.   *Some other places, besides Goodwill, that accept clothing donations are: Dress For Success (https://dressforsuccess.org/), The Cinderella Project, local shelters, and local charity-based thrift stores (google those last three to find ones accepting donations near you.) Don't use those random donation boxes - many if not most are scams. Follow @CoolPlaylistPod and @ElizaSkinner on twitter! Check out coolplaylistpod.com to find today's playlist and more!
