With St. Patrick’s Day jigging right at us, we felt it was time to bring back one of our all-time favorite guests: The Rogue Diplomats…and we got one! Brian Donnelly, he of vocals, guitar, and wry wit joins Phil and Shaun for a riotous shillelagh-laden dash down the weird news of the week with PLENTY of Irish jams along the way! Along with our FOUR musical offerings, Shaun’s got a bizarre news story out of Japan which mixes the most ominous parts of Minority Report with the unpleasantness of shopping! Next, Phil breaks news about the groundbreaking Chinese discovery of the elixir of immortality; and of COURSE that gives way to our latest game…the Build an Elixir Workshop that goes terrifically off the rails almost as soon as it starts! JOIN US!

BUT FIRST!

Back once again with his science segment, the good doctor explores the fascinating, awe-inspiring world of disappearing, migratory jellyfish anuses! Hooray!

AND!

In Three for the Road, we have tales of soul-stealing contracts, fine print riches, identical hipsters everywhere, and way more!

Happy Paddy’s Day to ya, folks, and remember, at the OTHER end of every rainbow is a steaming heap of…THE WHIPAROUND!
