  • Rerun: Thanksgiving 2017 Aired: Wednesday, November 23, 2022

    Happy Thanksgiving, Space Cadets! We're thankful for YOU! But we're not going to natter on about that. After a brief discussion of puddings (hurk), we move on to the matter of problematic fave Morrissey. Indeed, Bigmouth has struck again and Heather, for one, is truly disappointed. After the break, we're back and we're talking girls v.  women. No, it's not a fight! We're just talkin' words. You know how we do. 

    Music today from Eef Barzelay (who is, indeed, from Clem Snide as I was wondering while I QCed the track list pre-show) with "Thanksgiving Waves."

  • Episode 488: Red Wave Aired: Wednesday, November 16, 2022
