Episode 94: Tom Hanks... The Musical! Apr 28, 2020

Show notes

Why is Adam yelling at Tom Hanks? Maybe because only Paula knows that he’s the surprise caller for our 100th Caller Contest! And... does Paula have a future conducting an orchestra? Well, now that Broadway’s dark, the great Rob Fisher has time to talk to us about what it takes to strike up the band.

Ep 93 One Hundred Percent of Listeners Say This Is The Best Podcast Ever Made Apr 21, 2020

Show notes

We'll find out how faulty polling can be when we talk with Gallup poll

Editor-In-Chief, Mohammed Younis. Plus, we're desperate for letter writing content during the "Stay at Home" order, but our listener mail bag is full of stimulating correspondence. Quarantine Corner is full of thanks, mumbled through masks, for our front line workers at the grocery store.

This week's house band is Paula's oldest friend in the world, French horn player, and Alexandria Symphony Orchestra Conductor, James Ross. Surely you can hear her influence in his music.

Episode 92: Do Ya Think I’m Lexi? Apr 14, 2020

Show notes

Who gets the last word on words? Emily Brewster does! She’s the Senior Editor at Merriam-Webster, and she’s on hand to explain how a real lexicographer decides what’s what and what isn’t. Also, a new auction, and Paula and Adam adjust to quarantine by letting Toni do their Japanese Kit Kat taste test for them. Social distancing has never tasted so weird!

Episode 91: Lake Quarantine Days Apr 07, 2020

Show notes

Wait, really? Garrison Keillor? Yes, Garrison’s here to talk to instruct Paula and Adam in the fine art of writing. In a related story, everyone discusses what they remember from 6th grade English for our “Quarantine Corner” feature. And also... they say comedy is a high-wire act, but Paula makes that a LOT less metaphorical.
