Make no bones about it, America loves skeletons! More than Beyonce, Russian meteors, or even The 2013 Academy Awards, it seems skeletons are the one thing people just can't get enough of this week. From buying bones online to digging up your loved ones, everyone is getting on board, as this bone-chilling trend sweeps the nation! Of course, not everyone is so hot on this hot, new trend, so we invited into the studio, Ram Pamphlet. Ram, is a skeleton denier who recently founded SAG (Skeletons are Garbage), an organization that believes that skeletons and bones do not exist, even within the human body. Later in the show, we talk to a skeleton. Also on this week's show, Pat and Jason discuss their love of Bones the TV show, a loved one passes away, and we're paid another visit from our good friend and technology columnist at Parade Magazine, Gadget Guru Dermitt Countertop. All that and more, plus music from the Foo Fighters. This week on America Won't Shut Up! Our guests this week are Aaron Burdette (@aaronburdette) and Kathy Salerno (@kpartyawesome).

Every month, The Sequel Machine recruits 25 writers to write the sequels for film's biggest franchises one page at a time. The catch is, the writers only get to read the page before theirs in a round-robin, exquisite corpse style. The end result is a hilarious, twisted, and as coherent as any misquided Hollywood sequel. This month: 9thmare on Elm Street. Performed by: Adam Bozarth, Dan Chamberlain, Matt Little, Anna Rubanova, Brett White, Jeremy Bent, Kathy Salerno, Nicole Byer, and Laura Willcox See the next Sequel Machine show live: Harry Potter 9 3/4.

Things get all demonically weird with the New Mutants, and we can only think about party planning and Cannonball’s pleasure schedule. Sketch comedian Kathy Salerno joins us and urges listeners to “create their own arenas.” Also, we track how long it takes Nicole to spot a social injustice in our reading, and the answer is either sooner or later than you expect! Also, Ch'od is discussed. Kathy Salerno is a writer for the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre sketch team Fambly, who perform in New York City on the second Monday of every month. She’s also one third of the Scott Snyder approved Watchin' Downton web-series.
