The Kirk Minihane Show travelled to Centerville, Mass., to record a podcast in the home of a complete stranger who was the highest bidder in last year's charity auction.

Winchester High School is officially dead to Minihane after they invited Boston Globe hack Shirley Leung to talk with students about journalism (0:28:25). Mike Francesa has drifted off into the Radio.com ether where he now does a 90-minute show with few callers and virtually no listeners; Minihane tunes in for some thrilling Wichita State basketball talk (0:45:25).
