Try This 1: Raymond Carver / Shearwater

This is the first episode of Try This, the show where Gary and Kole impose media on each other. Each episode has two sides, each dedicated to a different work.

In the first part of the episode, Gary recommends some Raymond Carver short stories to Kole. Specifically, "Why Don't You Dance", "Popular Mechanics", "What Do We Talk About When We Talk About Love?", and "Cathedral". These can be found in the following collections: What Do We Talk About When We Talk About Love? and Cathedral.

In the back half, Kole recommends the Shearwater album Jet Plane and Oxbow, an indie rock album from 2016. Here's a YouTube playlist with each song.
