We love comments!  To be shown on the site, comments must first be approved, and we don't approve ones for viagra.  (Lesbian aren't usually interested in that anyway.) 

Although we usually publish our episodes as MP3s, in order to stay within our account's monthly storage limit AND get an episode out this week, we're publishing Ep #12 as an AAC (a.k.a MP4) because it compresses to a smaller size.  You might also notice this Ep isn't in stereo like we usually have it.  Another effort to get the file size down.  

Featured Topics Include
Dessert.  Everyday Life in Hawaii.  Gaydar Gotchas.  

Congratulations
To listener Lilian in Singapore!  She won the Olivia necklace!
