The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

In this episode of Knee Deep in the Passenger Seat , Cady and Sharilyn take a deep dive into the world of pleasure—what it means, why it matters, and the barriers that keep us from fully embracing it. From the science of how stress and guilt hijack joy to personal anecdotes about navigating purity culture and inadequate sex education, they unravel the societal layers that fuel shame around pleasure. The conversation explores the role of body image, patriarchy, and economic inequality in shaping our access to pleasure and offers practical tips for finding joy in the everyday. It also highlights the medical community’s neglect of pleasure in health conversations and emphasizes the power of self-care and body autonomy. To wrap things up, the hosts switch gears and discuss their love (and critiques!) of book-to-screen adaptations, sharing their favorites and least favorites and explaining why representation matters in storytelling.
