    (trying to be better about giving you feedback...)

    Thanks for mentioning my comments. It's a little surreal to hear yourself referred to on your favorite podcast.

    Iris laughed! Thanks only to your delivery, Will.

    So, what you didn't say about your documentrary-fest is how you and the boys came to see these films. At home, or did you go somewhere for the screening? Netflix?

    Great commentary on Helvetica and King Corn, by the way.

    Yay for Neil deGrasse Tyson! I saw him at OSU in the fall and it was awesome. Standing-room-only, believe it or not. He really challenged us to think about scientific literacy, saying he was going off of his usual presentation b/c we didn't need the usual stuff. Was he in stocking feet when you saw him? He was at here. He's a rock star. My coworkers are envious that I got to see him.

    I noticed that you didn't extend to your listeners my challenge to give feedback. That's cool, as long as you're both committed to continuing. Before you give up, though (at least for reason of not thinking there's an audience for your podcast), please do ask for responses. I still think you'll be surprised by how many of us love your podcast.

    I liked both the Swedish bands you played, but I'm not sure I hear the St. Etienne comparison with Air France. That might be because I'm such a big fan of the Ets. In fact, I think I found your podcast by searching for St. Etienne back when podcasts were new...

    Thanks for trudging again into Fourth Bedroom Studios. I will totally name my kids Will and Iris.

    Hey Will,

    I have noticed that each time Iris threatens to quit podcasting she puts up a great show. Maybe you should tell her that it's the last show for each podcast you record!!

    Am a big fan of deGrasse Tyson. His appearances on Cobert Report and Daily Show are always highly entertaining. When you mentioned Tyson on the show, I could not help but think of this clip
