0°I Don't Get It
I Don’t Get It is an award-winning podcast about dance - mostly contemporary dance - from the eyes of one guy who knows nothing about it and one girl who knows too much (or at least that what we’ll let her think). I Don’t Get It is recorded in a blanket fort on Alberta Avenue in Edmonton, AB, Canada, with hosts Paul Blinov and Fawnda Mithrush. Produced and edited by Andrew Paul. Theme music by Ghibli.
