I think unisex shirts fit best. Not trying to be all tight in the chest like Michael Scott. Also longer in the back, which is great for tall people.

SBB was the first WFMU show I ever heard and the show that got me hooked for life <3 It was Sheila's program about the War on Drugs and many artists who have suffered from our society's outdated and hostile views on addiction. Love y'all!!!!! WFMU is literally all I listen to every day all day
