Season 9, Episode 3: Tales of the Local Milk People

In this episode, Kevin and Tony open the show by mulling the various manifestations of “milk,” finally facing the long-festering question of milk’s gender. Then, first up is “A Man Called Bamby,” a noirish mystery in Manhattan bar in 1948, featuring meta-narrative trickery.  Next, we have the first drug commercial ever aired, for “Quaaludes.” Don’t nod off! Thirdly, Johnny Hambone, Library Bouncer, records his first podcast—from a hammock, in the woods, in the rain. Finally, Tony and Kevin re-open the Spam Filter to hear from a strange creature who has a “requst” for some of staff writer Ann Porter’s art. Better get blogging!
