Things are hopping around the KUT/KUTX studios today, folks. We just kicked off our spring 2013 membership drive this morning, which happens to be our first-ever two-station drive. It's kind of exciting, while also being kind of horrifying. Just like O'Dark 30 (segue!).

And this one's a dandy, featuring the world podcast premiere of the new show Delta State, which is basically just a couple of minutes of our pal Spike Gillespie rambling on and/or complaining about things. And if you've ever had the pleasure of listening to Spike ramble on and/or complain about things, you know you're in for a treat. And then it's a new installment of KUTX's Liner Notes, which is basically a couple of minutes of our pal Rabbi Neil Blumofe talking about jazz music in a rich, soothing voice. And if you've ever had the pleasure of listening to...

So I was just thinking how crazy it is that Tax Day was always April 15 my entire life and now suddenly it's April 17 (which gives us all two extra days to file our extensions!) when I realized that it's only April 17 this year because April 15 was a Sunday and it's not really a big change or...

As you may or may not know, there's an old superstition about saying "MacBeth" in a theater. A lot of your actory types refer to it only as "The Scottish Play," lest bad luck befall them for uttering the actual name of the play. I'm assuming that makes things pretty confusing in Scotland, where one...
