On today's very special Track Meet, we're joined by the amazingly awesome Raeanna Larson of Mount Olympus University. And why is this episode of Track Meet out on a Wednesday? Well it's because today is Raeanna's birthday! [Fireworks! Confetti Cannons! Noisemakers!] Raeanna's birthday gives us a bit of a challenge this week, though, as we dig through the very murky musical year of 1992. It's a bit of a gap year for popular music, but the really great songs always find their way to the surface, and this week is no different. Enjoy this little tour through 1992 on this extra awesome Raeanna-centered #SongFight!
