It's the last day of July. Our shows this month were about urban beekeeping, musical mashups as a distinct genre, anxiety, internet trolls, why certain songs get stuck in your head, artificially enhanced athletes, conversion to a different religion, a pervasive pop aesthetic called twee, the history of corn, noise, nudism, the history of the TV remote control.

We also took the blood pressure of Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and made him answer a quiz about how stressful a guy he is (very ...and his staff insists he understated his answers). 
 
We did a live show from Springfield and four episodes of The Nose our Friday panel where the topics can and did range from the Higgs Boson to the Chick Fil A fast food chain. 
 
The last show of the month is the Process, where we pull back the curtain and tell you a little about what went on behind the scenes.
