Andy attempts to interview a DJ and ends up calling the drive-thru intercom of a very strange fast food restaurant. [Emily voiced by Joe Piconi, Adam voiced by Will Krisanda] 

Andy goes solo for this one and talks about some of the things he's been up to, then bounces around random topics, including: recording songs off the radio onto cassettes in the 1980s, Salt-N-Pepa, Casey and Jean Kasem, Rick Moranis, A Star is Born (2018), the new Vampire Weekend record, Bob Dylan, the Philly band Empath's new album, Active Listening: Night on Earth, and more!

There's no broadcasting time left for April on the PEOPLE ARE THE ENEMY Libsyn account, so Andy goes solo for a quick one. Andy thanks the listeners and guests for a great month and talks about: the movie The Favourite, the Impossible Burger at Wahlburgers, and finding a Brian Eno record at a thrift store.

Andy attempts to fake out his listeners by pretending to play an old Phil Collins interview from 1980, but the bit goes off the rails when his iPhone reminders start going off.
