All calls: ‘I’ll never call while eating a hamburger again’

About this episode

The episode features a call-in format where listeners discuss a variety of topics.

We’ve been doing these shows where we don’t book any guests, where we fill the hour with your calls. And your calls have been interesting and surprising and amusing. This hour, the conversation winds around to spiders, seashells and 86ing, a  possible $70 million Rothko , Cinco de Mayo, Texas (and Hawaii) as its own country … Anything. (Seemingly) everything. These shows are fun for us, and they seem to be fun for you, too. So we did another one. Music featured (in order): Sunflower Waltz  – Duved Dunayevsky, Susanne Ortner, Molly Reeves, Zach Valentine Side Slider  – Isaia Huron Bando  – Angelique Kidjo, Pharrell Williams, Quavo White Roses  – Fetty Wap (feat. Divinity & Ymanie) This Can’t Be Love  – Jaimee Paul Meat Machines  – The Claypool Lennon Delirium Che sarà terra e sarà mare  – Tosca Support the show: http://www.wnpr.org/donate See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
