Well, Meg and Kyle are a little sillier than usual this week, and that's in large part thanks to the Awesomes who got them interested in sampling delicious gins this week! They talk about that ol' fox George Clooney, the only ASMR that Kyle falls for, great songs with bad lyrics, and an unfortunate tale of a boy who loved honey a little too much.Come tell us all about your problematic faves in the Awesome Today group on Facebook!

It's the first Monday of April, so Meg and Kyle are here to help you kick off the month with a deluxe-sized Awesome Today!

This is the ultimate girlfriend chat. Rebekah and Kelly take over the podcast this week, to allow Meg to tend to her hospitalized mother. They asked the Awesomes in the Hangout if they had questions they wanted us to tackle - and as usual, the Awesomes delivered. Expect a few life updates, some honest talk about what they are watching these days and what will happen if/when (we're going with when) the Sorta Awesome team ever meets in person. Then they share their favorite frugal meal tips - including a snack from Kelly that shocked Rebekah - and some recipes that work well to feed your people when you are pinching pennies.

This week, we welcome Judd Winick to the show. Winick is a graphic novelist who's played in both the DC and Marvel universes. In addition to comics, he's also written the Batman: Under the Red Hood animated film, was writer/producer for Hulu's The Awesomes, and created The Life and Times of Juniper Lee for Cartoon Network. On this episode, we chat with Winick about his all-ages series HiLo, his career in comics, great books for kids, whether comics have forgotten how to be fun, his time on MTV's The Real World, his series of This Makes Me Happy strips, and his marriage proposal - which, I guarantee you, is one of the most original proposal stories you'll ever hear.
