Episode 35: We've Got You Covered!

This week Dave and Steel bring Zac back on the show to discuss the joys and terrors of fairs (County and State alike), the golden era of Pauly Shore films, a guy who surfed a 20 foot wave on a motorcycle with skis attached, and the new Alexander Hamilton hip-hop Broadway musical. They also have their first poetry face-off (Mary Oppen vs. David Berman), cover some zany corporate hijinks, play great cover songs by Earth, Wind, & Fire, Pavement, M. Ward, Jamie Cullum, the Lemonheads, and Bonnie “Prince” Billy, and Steel shares some book wisdom from the poet Brian Teare.
