February 22, 2013 9:23 am by: Mike Lee

Listen, we know you're probably as eager to start your weekend as we are, so we're not going to waste your time with all kinds of nonsense. Let's just get right to it, shall we? We've got three totally different pieces of radio goodness for you today. First off, it's The Perfect Storm, from the fine folks at This Land Press in Tulsa. It's a historic look back at the Dust Bowl; it's really done and informative, so we know you'll like it. Then it's a portrait of musician Corn Mo. Maybe you've never heard of Corn Mo, and just think that he's some dude with an improbably odd name. Well, he is that, but there's more to him than just that improbably odd name. He's a pretty interesting guy and you're gonna enjoy hearing his story. And then we'll wrap it all up with For Libertarians and Anarchists Holiday Giving is... from O'Dark buddy Emily Corwin. It's an interesting look at holiday giving that's chronologically inappropriate for late February, but hey, who cares?...

What's on the podcast today? You might as well ask what's not on the podcast! No, wait, that's not right at all. Telling you what's not on it would take forever and give you little usable information. It'd be a total waste of your time and mine. There are literally millions of things that aren't on today's podcast. But, more importantly, there are a handful of things that are on today's podcast, and they're pretty cool. The lesson here? Be happy with what you have. We'll start off with A Toy Story, which is not the beloved Pixar movie, but a soon-to-be-beloved audio piece from producer Robbie Feinberg. You'll enjoy it, we promise. And then we'll move on to a new episode of The Mikie Show, in which Mikie chats it up with one Mary Hartman, PhD,...
