Yep. We are happy just to dance.
This week's radio show aired on Easter Sunday, and its playlist posts now on April Fools Day. Neither of those circumstances is reflected in anything we did on the show itself.
The playlist was programmed the night before Dana and I appeared as guests on The Spoon podcast, with Robbie Rist, Chris Jackson, and Thom Bowers. It was immense fun, and you can listen to that podcast here. My parts for our own little mutant radio show were done the day after we recorded our Spoon appearance. None of those factors influenced anything that occurred on this week's TIRnRR.
Let's face it: We're oblivious.
But we've got a radio show. And it's pretty damned good, regardless of whatever else is swirling around it. 'Twixt bunnies and fools, buoyed by validation from The Men of The Spoon, we humbly [sic] present another sterling example of The Best Three Hours Of Radio On The Whole Friggin' Planet.
It exists in a vacuum.
But it does not suck.
Be happy: Dance!
