Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast--your source of geekly entertainment!
We're back this week with another Would You Rather? game, with a twist--our new guest Carolyn also has absolute pitch, making this a perfect pitch party!
Join Seth, David, and Carolyn as they explore a world of hypothetical situations involving music and other artistic pursuits. Along the way, we'll discover that Seth really wants to speak in autotune, David thinks it'd be cool to sing on a timpani, and Carolyn has an adorable Toothless plushie. Shut up, you're biased.
This episode features Carolyn, a music major with perfect pitch and also a thing for rollercoasters.
You can play along at home! Ask yourself only the most important question: Would You Rather?

It's hard having perfect pitch...
