Hawaii, Soup, Ghosts!

By Alison Rosen on April 13, 2022 in podcast

Betsy Sodaro, Daniel and Tony are here but Daniel has to leave before the end of the show. How best to make use of our limited Daniel time? The plan was to recount some of the most pressing stories from our recent trip to Hawaii but we got sidetracked because Betsy Sodaro experienced life-altering soup in Santa Fe and that felt very important. Honestly, it was the perfect segue into the 41 minute trivia question that Daniel presented me with in Hawaii which involved soup and which he recapitulated on the show but in a mercifully shortened form. Play along at home! Plus a giant misunderstanding involving human sacrifice and jogging, my koala, country music, ghosts, kids, first class, Freaks & Geeks and more! Also we did a round of Just Me Or Everyone!

By Alison Rosen on April 6, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

Daniel and Alison (Your Calls and Elliot’s Leprechaun Song)

By Alison Rosen on March 27, 2022 in podcast

Daniel is huffing a puffing like no one’s business at the beginning of this episode. Also the rug in the studio blows chunks out of his butt apparently. I am carrying the show, hence one set of footprints. We take your calls and Daniel has a lot of say about rivers. Plus the most teenagery teenager we ever saw and a memorable crop dusting. And a performance of Irish folk song “Wee Falorie Man” by Elliot at the end.
