fart

What to say about this week’s podcast episode? Sometimes your podcast recording schedule just catches up with the team, you haven’t planned much and yet the show must go on.

Go on it did, into all sorts of unforeseen places. Angela tells the story of how Tres inadvertently introduced her son to some inappropriate literature. Our intern, Kylie, makes a surprise appearance to explain how a fart joke once landed her in the emergency room. Things just get classier from there.

As I prepared to write this post, Tres suggested in an email that I “should probably give people fair warning” about how much of this episode deals with various bodily functions.

“Perhaps you can cushion the blow by explaining how this happened? (I have no explanation, so good luck.)” he wrote, helpfully.

I have no explanation either.

But I suppose the silver lining on this gas cloud is that this episode does offer perhaps the most unvarnished look yet into what a raucous day in the News Dungeon can be like when we aren’t knee-deep in education issues, pandemic coverage or state politics. Make of that what you will.
