Ben Maller goes vroom, vroom on the latest edition of the Fifth Hour, serving up a grab bag of fun facts about motorcycles, piña coladas, and kebabs. Buckle up as he takes you on an audio road trip through "The Valley of the Fan" and "Palm Tree Island," complete with thug babushkas, ants the size of the Death Star, and the kind of bizarre detours only Maller can navigate. There's also a Word of the Day shaped by both the Bible and Bugs Bunny, hijacked by Elmer Fudd and kids, with a side order of foodie fun. Shows like this are why Ben Maller has been called the Rumpelstiltskin of radio—spinning straw into broadcast gold, painting word pictures in the theater of the mind, and turning chicken feathers into audio treasure.
