Despite recognizing the characters, Matt and Tony have never read a single Archie comic book. This week they fix that by sitting down with classic tales of teenage antics as drawn by Dan DeCarlo, the Archie artist who established the house style and solidified the characters' iconic looks. Joining them is Ayla Ahlquist, a Providence-based comedy writer and performer who was raised on the adventures of the Archie gang. Ayla regularly performs improv comedy at Wage House Comedy Theater in Pawtucket, RI (with Tony no less!) and is a cast member of The Empire Revue, Providence's long-running monthly variety show. The discussion covers Archie's origins and DeCarlo's deceptively simple style, growing up on Archie, Ayla's bias against the CW's modern reimagining of the characters, how Matt and Tony know as little as they do about the characters without ever having read any of the comics before now, and how easily the simple formula of Archie stories allow the gang to crossover with zombies, The Punisher, and the Predator.

Keith Munslow and I talked about how he went from art school dropout to being on the board of one of the longest running art spaces in the country. We also discussed his time touring with Big Nazo, his children's music, the process of writing Benny's the Musical, and how he's been a self employed musician for over 30 years Learn more about Keith and his music HERE, and make sure to follow him on Facebook Song interlude band order:Meatballs/FluxusCurioNeo '90s Dance BandEmpire Revue castKeith MunslowSuperchief Trio *This interview was recorded on September 14th, 2019 at Keith's home in Providence, RIIntro music by CedrosHosted by James Toomey

In this special surprise Christmas episode, Carrie and Jake talk about (among other things) Little Rabbit Foo Foo, horny robot giraffes with French accents, and how being a gasket builds character. We also explore the Eden Five Needs You 4 extended universe. From all of this, you may deduce that we read Andrew Smith's latest YA novel, Rabbit & Robot. Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening! In the next episode, we'll be discussing The Owl Service by Alan Garner.

Here's a special bonus April 1 episode of 'Tell Me About Your Song', in which I talk about Rhode Island's state song, 'Rhode Island's It For Me'. My remarks here are a slightly updated version of a presentation I gave at the Empire Revue in July of 2011. 'Rhode Island's It For Me' was adopted as the Rhode Island state song in 1996. This episode focusses on the lyrics, which were written by Charlie Hall. The song's music was written by Maria Day, and it was arranged by Kathryn Chester. An official recording of 'Rhode Island's It For Me' can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ6lz5Fm1-8 , and you can find the lyrics on Rhode Island's website at http://www.ri.gov/facts/song.php.
