We got to do songs every episode, we got to voice these characters.”He added that he recently rewatched episodes of the show, and said: “And we’re hoping to do something new with it, in some type of way.

So, yeah, stay tuned.”Elsewhere in the interview, Benjamin also talked about playing the flute in public – specifically, in cabs: “I don’t get carsick,” he told Nardwuar, adding that his conversations with cab drivers have ended up becoming educational at times.
