Last month, we hosted Dessa Deconstructed in MPR's UBS Forum. Conceived as a radio experiment, we invited Dessa to chat with an audience about her new album "Parts Of Speech." She explained her songwriting process, shared visuals and demos, performed live with her band and answered questions from the audience. On this weekend's episode, hear a full replay of the event and go behind-the-scenes with Dessa.


Andrea will also talk about Bob Dylan's dedication to Bobby Vee at Americanarama last week, as well as Botzy's new album. And we've got loads of premieres from the likes of Food Pyramid, Jack Campbell, First Communion Afterparty, GRRRL PRTY and Pony Bwoy.
