Barrett and Carter launched their take on Felicity Merriman, everyone’s favorite colonial American Girl Doll, in February of 2022. Since then, they have become 186,000 people’s favorite news source for everything from whether or not Harry Styles is bald to updates on the FBI search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. The pair tackles all measure of current affairs with needle-sharp wit and sarcasm, and are the perfect addition to our committee to help us find artists capturing the new Roaring 20’s.

Nashville based indie pop singer/songwriter Taylor Bickett is our last but certainly not last addition to the selection committee. Her new single “Quarter Life Crisis” is quite literally the theme song for our show and has already been streamed 120,000 times on Spotify. Her lyrics have inspired countless videos of people showing themselves at 16 and now at 28, and her spirit captures everything Quarter Life Crisis stands for.
