The January 22 Episode

Hi, Friends.

Just a quick note this time. I hope you all have a great weekend. If snow will be part of it--as I know it will for many of my fellow East Coasters--I wish you luck and suggest you cue up some Little Richard on your headphones (or just in your head) as you go out to shovel. You'll finish in record time! (Take it from me.)

Thanks to Poison Ivy's fast work, the podcast of last night's show is already available here if you want to listen to it right now. It will also be available on iTunes and my web site shortly. 

Enjoy!
