Walking the Thin Line Between The New York Times and The Onion

We’re back after a week off for spring break with uncontrollable yapping about ourselves circa 2009, new rawk’n’roll, and how reading the New York Times opinion section sometimes feels like an exercise in separating the satire from the sincere—and plenty else! Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it on Facebook or Twitter, leave a comment on the show’s page on our website, or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
