They set out to write and record 8 songs in 8 hours, and managed to create 6 really awesome ones.

It's a show designed to be enjoyed on the radio, isn't a podcast a no brainer? Where’s the link to a mp3 or a podcast? It’s a show designed to be enjoyed on the radio, isn’t a podcast a no brainer?

John Moe (the host) completely lost it before Adam even started in on the song. Great night ... the only thing you guys miss from the video stream is the Brass Messengers playing 4-5 songs outside the Fitz after the show.

Apparently, my memory is failing me. Or I'd had too many Tina Louise's by that point in the evening. Fixed. Apparently, my memory is failing me.

LOVED the post-show impromptu street dance. Second-best part of the after-show, the (remarkably long) line of people waiting to pet Neil Gaiman's dogs. It was much shorter than the line of people waiting to get books signed by Neil Gaiman, but it still amused me. Also: Yes. LOVED the post-show impromptu street dance.

I'll need to listen a couple more times before I can ingest properly, but I enjoyed the limerick scansion and the theme. Joan of Arc is not to be messed with. Loved the Brass Messengers. Is that a flugelhorn? I'll be tuning in for more. Zowie! I’ll need to listen a couple more times before I can ingest properly, but I enjoyed the limerick scansion and the theme.
