Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone

Paula has an audition coming up, so it’s fitting that we’re looking into Looking Good and Feeling Good. First, plastic surgeon Dr. David Rosenberg explains what it takes to take away a tattoo - how do you get that anchor removed from your bulging forearm before you apply for that job at the spinach factory. Then, therapist Marc Weiss explains how to cope with anxiety, and how Paula can conquer it before her audition. Also - hot sauce! Is “El Diablo” actually the work of the Devil? House band Eric Kalver, drums Guests: Dr. David Rosenberg Board certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills Website:

What’s hot in Real Estate? Well, New York Avenue, St. James Place, and... molten lava! First we talk to volcanologist and founder of Blueprint Earth Jess Phoenix about planetary threats like climate change and volcanic eruptions. And then Paula gets concrete advice about where to build her hotels from America’s #3 Monopoly player, Ken Koury. Also, we take a closer look at Paula’s health concerns, and whether or not she’s seeing the right veterinarian.

As we wait for the ball to drop from high above Miranda Street, Paula and Adam review 2018... and how much it sucked! Still, there were some high points - weren’t there? Maybe a certain podcast making its debut...? We ring in the New Year by sampling some of our listeners’ lowest expectations for 2019. Also, with M. Night Shyamalan’s “Glass” poised to hit theaters, we review the first of its two prequels, 2000’s “Unbreakable,” starring Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, and the surprising hair stylings of Robert Louis Stevenson. House band Jorge Reyes , saxophone FB:

It’s Christmas Eve, and Paula and Adam conjure up visions of sugarplums as a soft, fluffy snow begins to blanket Miranda Street. At least, we hope that’s snow. We play some of the latest festive entries to our Theme Song Contest, share our listeners’ stories about their most wished-for Christmas gifts, and we review the 2007 cinematic classic “Transformers” to help you decide whether the new film “Bumblebee” is the right holiday movie for YOUR whole family.

Paula and Adam help gear you up for the holidays with wisdom, advice, and myrrh*. Everyone wants to Let It Snow, but Robby Ellingson, GM of the Mt. Baldy Mountain Resort tells us how to MAKE it snow. Professional light-stringer, Cristian Jimenez, owner of The Christmas Dudes, enlightens us on decorative technique. Plus, some straight talk about Christmas entertainment, and whether Jews should be allowed to talk about it. And "Under the Mistletoe," from the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles, makes our evening merry and bright. *myrrh not included Sponsor: Away - makers of truly extraordinary "smart luggage."
