About this episode

The 100th episode features an interview with John Flansburgh and John Linnell of They Might Be Giants discussing their new album and career.

Hey, look at us, 100 episodes. How about that? And what's a 100th episode without a legendary guest spot? Pfffffffft, we got it covered. John Flansburgh and John Linnell of They Might Be Giants dropped by the show to talk about their new record "The World Is to Dig", as well as touching on their illustrious career of over forty years! From their approach to arrangements, winning a Grammy for a sitcom theme, and a few historical side streets (shout-out William Allen White), these guys were thoughtful, kind, and cool as hell. The new record is a total jam, and it was a pleasure to hear it early and chop it up with John F. and John L. Huge thanks to They Might Be Giants, and thank you all who have stayed with us for 100 episodes!
