Episode 4.03 ("250, 260—Whatever Works!"). Written by Lori Furth, Lyssa Graham, Dale Leopold, Wren Leopold and Jack Mooney. (Double published to My Friend Lyssa and BS de Resistance)
To mark the nation's Semi-Quincentennial, we've assembled the mighty Suffolk & Goode Players to serve up a Buc-ees-sized portion of comedy. NPR confronts its toughest challenge—producer Bari Weiss; we learn of a heart-breaking new affliction—Hereditary VO; the plucky Doyle Sisters try to solve a newsworthy crime; and the Broligarchs of AI insinuate themselves into schools, gaming, and meal delivery. And there's a song!
