Listen Later

After recovering from a fugue state, we shut down everything this week from Chernobyl to Twizzlers. Our finest living patron of the arts, Seth Fradkoff, shares a distressing story about getting kicked out of “Tootsie: The Musical” on Broadway for taking a stand against loud snacks. Also on the docket: Manhattan prosecutor-turned-novelist Linda Fairstein attempted to un-cancel herself via op-ed; a British woman revealed that she paid her way through college by naming nearly 700,000 Chinese babies; another woman in Cincinnati quit her job to eat crab legs on YouTube; and comedian/actress/writer Jenny Slate agreed to deliver a highly exclusive commencement address in Massachusetts.
