When Shannon's away... we get some extra specials guests! Facing John on this week's show, are returning guest Eric Palencia, family lawyer and artist Maha Kamal, and poet and CU lecturer Jenny Cookson. Topics include: Reality Therapy, Barn Burners, the Blue People of Kentucky, the Teapot Dome Scandal and more, plus the usual fun of Pomme ou pomme de terre and Original Sketch. But things get really Byzantine when Nate offers a bonus question on Indie Band TV Show Mashups... It's a real barn burner of an episode (wink) through and through!
