296. Scabby the Rat (With Mary Lou and Philip Labes) May 03, 2023

The last time we had each of today's guests on the pod, the harmonies stopped us in our tracks. We assumed bringing them back together would result in a talent explosion that would destroy the world, and we were right! RIP the world. This week are joined once again by TWO Off Book legends, Mary Lou and Philip Labes, for a tale of solidarity, people of all intelligences, and of course... Philadelphia.
