Big Ears is nearly upon us, so we invited festival founder Ashley Capps on the show to talk about what you can expect during this jam-packed weekend. 

Calvin Mattheis and Ryan Wilusz also share their best tips and tricks for navigating the festival and making the most of your experience — even if you don't have a ticket. 

With a ton of free performances and an international crowd descending on downtown, you don't want to miss this week's episode.
