Happy Hallowe'en! From 2010, here's a sketch from The Paul F. Tompkins Show featuring special guest Janeane Garofalo. NOTE:  There are numerous sound problems that occur here and there.  They are not the kind that will make you throw off your headphones in a shrieking fury of pain, they just make things a little difficult to hear sometimes. We are sorry that archival recordings are often jerk recordings.  But If you knew what it sounded like before Eban took his digital scalpel to it, you would be in awe.  Enjoy!
