I decided to call this one hiatus because that’s exactly what it is. Due to circumstances beyond our control, John and I had to take a week off this week: John got wrapped up in putting the finishing touches on tonight’s performance and I got cast in a regional commercial which shot on the day we had scheduled to record this episode. So, here’s a little “Best Of” show from the grooveyard of forgotten favorites.

From Episode 32: Highlights from our first visit with Mr. Collins and Mr. Young

From Episode 67a: Highlights from our Thanksgiving special from 2007 again featuring Mr. Collins and Mr. Young with their special guest Mr. Tarkington.

And, finally, from Episode 53: Our complete interview with the Reduced Shakespeare Company. Don’t forget about tonight’s performance of The Complete History of America (Abridged) by the Reduced Shakespeare Company for the students of the Tennessee Governor’s School for the Arts! It’s open to the public! Get your tickets while they last!

John and I will be back next week, but until then, enjoy this blast from the past!
