Yay, I finally caught up with the episodes. I thought it was just me that had fallen behind but it sounds like several other listeners have as well according to your voicemails, Brian. That original White Rabbit was phenomenal. The mash-up Musically challenged was fun (and actually do-able, they've been quite tough lately). The local 'alternative' station here plays similar mash-ups for a couple of hours every Saturday night here, but since I have a life I never listen to it. Lucky for me I can listen to a little taste while at work during my Coverville afternoons!

Re: Parabens as Background Music
Parabens was an interesting track but please be assured, Brian, that you absolutely do not need to have background music for longer pieces of speech! You're always interesting to listen to and have a great radio voice - there is no reason to detract from that with background music. It's good to have music-free gaps between the sets. In my opinion!
Just listened to this episode, and I, too loved the mash-up Musically Challenged.
Also Brian, you referred to Tina as Ed McMahon to your Johny Carson, but I've always thought more like Tina as Kathy Lee to your Regis. I'm just sayin'
:)
Parabens means happy birthday in Portugese!
