GOOD GOURD! A show about pumpkins!
Update: 2024-10-11
Description
Oh my gourd, do we want you to meet a man who set a world record for riding his giant pumpkin down the Missouri River!
And hold your breath as you hear from two women who won an underwater pumpkin carving contest!
And since it’s officially decorative gourd season, meet the author of that McSweeney's essay whose enthusiastic profanity somehow brings us all together every single autumn.
This episode originally aired on October 21, 2023.
GUESTS:
