    I saw this pop on the feed and immediately downloaded the podcast. You had me at "Alien", then you threw in "Jolson", and that made me feel all funny and giggly inside.

    Al Jolson did a wonderful job with the song "Sonny Boy", but I wouldn't throw too many sequels on.

    Thank you! I have no idea how I got from one to the other; never do. That's the fun.
