Podcast 132: Studio City

 It was quite refreshing to see Alison Janey and Timothy Bussfield back together again.  Those two have great screen chemistry together.  Someone should put a list together of all the West Wing people that crossed over to S60 in its one season.  I imagine it would have been higher if it had done more seasons, but I feel like we got a good number.  We cover episodes 17-20 of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

Various topics discussed in this podcast include:
    Joey's Culture Corner: Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein
    Facebook Find of the Week: Listener Fishhead-
    Contest giveaway may be coming soon.... Send in ideas.
    Alison Janey is back!
    Is praying in public normal or weird?
    Avoid turning your prayers in to just begging sessions
    I need help learning how to tie a bow tie
    Music by Shayna Zaid
