National Podcast Day

We cashed in some favors and booked superhero Incredi-Man as a special guest for our National Superhero Day episode. From humble beginnings on a farm to being a guest on the foremost aunt-nephew collabortive comedy education podcast of our era, Incredi-Man has really done it all. Recipe for Incredi-Man's Bologna Rosettes coming soon.

For National Audubon Day, we master hyper-realistic bird calls, hear Nicole's favorite bird memories, and head out on a couple of family bird watching outings to complete our Bird Bingo sheets. Thank God this is one of multiple annual bird days. 

We know what makes really good radio: hearing people smell things. On this episode of National Podcast Day, we celebrate National Sense of Smell Day and all that our sniffers (honkers, schnozzes, secondary face holes) are capable of, which as humans is about 1/5 as much as the African Elephant. But who's keeping track?

Late April hardly seems like the ideal time to picnic but that won't stop us. For National Picnic Day, we head into the unknown: Janesville, Wisconsin's Park Place, to daringly read plaques, eat snacks, and review picnicking conditions at five parks. Excuse all the munching while we do this serious work.

For Record Store Day, we pay homage to record stores and music with special guest Papa (Nicole's dad, Dominic's grandfather), the man that sherpherded us to many a concert and gave us our love of music. Despite our guest receiving the questions ahead of time, we still all managed to be surprised. Take a trip down memory lane, as we dig out Papa's old vinyls, discover where to find the most "kickbutt" barbeque beef the Chicago area had to offer in 1978, and deepdive into the drama behind the lyrics of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. Oh, and please support a record store!
