Olive Tiger is an evolution of sound and texture: a nontraditional rock trio that lushly combines electronics with organic elements of chamber-pop, defying the boundaries of genre in favor of obsessive exploration. Olive Tiger features an unusual collection of instrumentation featuring Olive (cello, guitar, vocals), Jesse Newman (violin, synths, electronics), and John McGrath (drums, percussion).
The group’s sophomore collection, a series of EPs titled Softest Eyes, continues the expansion of their sound palette with Side B. Softest Eyes: Side B features distinctly-crafted tracks ranging from disarmingly sunny to alluringly moody, drawing from a full and complex range of human experiences.
Olive Tiger has shared the stage with a growing roster of notable musicians including Dirty Projectors, Kishi Bashi, Xenia Rubinos, and Kyp Malone (of TV on the Radio), and has garnered growing attention for its work. The band was named Emerging Artist of the Month by The Deli Magazine, and received a nomination for Best in State for the New England Music Awards. Olive Tiger was also honored with an Artist Excellence Fellowship Award from The Connecticut Office of the Arts.

Reddit Moderator Q & A
In this episode we go deep on Reddit moderation. A moderator, or a mod for short, is a redditor who volunteers their time to help guide and create Reddit's many communities.
After attending a summit for Reddit moderators, Broclen is able to convince a variety of mods to join the podcast. They discuss some of the stereotypes and misconceptions around Reddit moderation and take questions from Reddit users. They go over the role of free speech within Reddit rules and they also address the conspiracy theory that a small cabal of moderators actually control all of Reddit.com.
