Dave Zobel returns to the lectern for our very first show from Asheville, NC. From the Diana Wortham Theatre, we play with two of the sharpest minds Asheville has to offer, Helen Chickering and John Boyle. The innovative Free Planet Radio give us a bit of time with the words 'feijoa' and 'thaumatrope.'

Bunkum in Buncombe

Public radio's game show of bluff and bluster, words and whimsy. The warmest, wittiest cocktail party - it's spirited and civil, brainy and boisterous, peppered with musical interludes. Fast paced and playful, it's the most fun you can have with language without getting your mouth washed out with soap. Our motto: It's not important to know the answers, it's important to like the answers!
