Come From Away gets serious, and so do MJ and Jonah. Along with the usual musical analysis, our hosts compare and contrast the reactions to 9/11 with those of our current pandemic and unrest. Join them as they discuss how the stories and music from Come From Away shed light on the worst and best parts of humanity.
