We've only got two pieces on the 'cast today, but they're both pretty good and one of them is an hour long, so that still adds up to plenty of show. So stop complaining already.
First off, it's a new edition of KUT's own
Views and Brews, from O'Dark alum Rebecca McInroy. She'll be discussing depression and creativity with artist/writer/musician Thor Harris, who's a super nice dude and who is also named Thor, which was cool even before
The Avengers came out last year.

People are writing to me and saying, "Hey, Mike, I'm super bored at the office today and I need to kill few hours while pretending to work. Can you help me out?" And I always reply with a stern lecture about work ethics and the value of a job well done. So while I want yo to listen to this show and I hope you do it as soon as possible, I'm hoping you do it on your own time and that you don't get fired for slacking off on the job.
There's tons of great stuff in the episode -- more from the Life Stories series, a new installment of Spike Gillespie's Delta State, something called Survival of an Island, and more! Dig it!... » read more
