The curated goodness continues apace! This time, for our penultimate Whiparound CLASSIC episode, the doctor himself plumbed the depths of his considerable memory to produce a fantastic choice!

Be sure to listen in to Shaun’s updates at the top of the show; not only are they fresh and funky, but he’s got word from Phil about a shot at some Whiparound swag for some lucky listener or other!

EPISODE 37: GWA (Grannies With Attitude)
When nonagenarians go all 187, you can bet your old-timey word for buttocks that your pals at the Whiparound will be on the case: this week, an elderly woman guns down her own son, and the whys and wherefores send us careening to Kenyan self-defense class, stopping for a layover at the House of Cane Fu, and finally debuting ANOTHER NEW GAME! What’s old is still old and yet NEVER more dangerous, you’ll see!
BUT FIRST! Phil’s got an all-time highlight science segment, and you’ll NEVER guess what his eye spied on the Red Planet, ya’ll: bring your goggles for this one!
AND LATER…we’ve got drug store lawsuits, a well-timed self-defense ad, and more drunken seafowl than you can handle, boyo! Now c’mere and let grandpa give you a quarter…OR ELSE: you, whippersnapper, are here for your mandatory annual visit…to the WHIPAROUND!
