COLD OPEN: The "Don't Leave Britton" song makes its debut with the rap stylings of special guest MC Open Mic.

THEME SONG: Bask in the song stylings of Lord Morgan Hall Phillips for less than a minute.

Sean worries about Britton and relays the pager message about Babs Blight.

EPISODE INTRO: Show must go on! Quick re-cap of the Planeteers cast. 

Mike runs down the penultimate show itinerary, introducing Mark McCray, author and podcast host of The Best Saturday of Our Lives. Mike also teases a secret guest on our Very Special Correspondent Segment.

 Welcome to our new listener Emil Sandvik from Seldovia, Alaska.

Happy Administrative Professionals Day! These pencil shavings aren't cleaning themselves, Britton. And last Friday was Earth Day, oops! Next year.

GUEST INTERVIEW: Premiere cartoon historian Mark McCray joins the program to discuss the original series Captain Planet & the Planeteers. #DIC, #Tom_Cruise, #Levar_Burton, #Whoopi_Goldberg, #Ed_Asner, #Dean_Stockwell, #Martin_Sheen, #Meg_Ryan, #Sting, etc. 

Mark picks the Episode 6 publish date: Summer Solistice, Tuesday, June 21st, and agrees to come back as guest to celebrate. 

VERY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT SEGMENT: Matt introduces and welcomes THE Captain Planet to the show. It's a horribly depressing listen, honestly. So remorseful and hopeless. You will probably want a bath and a nap afterward. Also, get the inside dish on Linka and Wheeler!!!

LISTENER TWEET: Captain Planet apologies personally to our listener Emil Sandvik.

Matt breaks off the interview with Captain Planet as things take an emotional turn. Tune into MiDDLiNG DeLiGHTS Episode 6 The New Adventures of Captain Planet for the equally despairing conclusion.
