Meditations in an Experiment

I take the show to the streets of my humble paper route, testing out my new digital recorder and microphone. If that's not your jazz, then enjoy an interview with Birmingham writer/actor/stand-up Kevin Van Hyning, taped in the apartment with better equipment.

"MATINEE" -- WHY CAN'T I LEAVE THIS POOR MOVIE ALONE?



I know, I know. After this week's podcast in which I took up a whopping fifteen minutes talking about the 1993 memory lane Young Adult comedy where John Goodman plays a carnival-barker-cum-movie producer, MATINEE, you guys took a vote, and agreed by a majority so large you can fit a Fantasia Hippo through it that you want me to stop raving about it once and for all.
