Three guests, Peter Sagal of WWDTM, Maria Konnikova of The New Yorker, and Robert Evans of Cracked, take you on a tour of vice. They talk everything from casual sex to marijuana to greed and ostentation to coffee to beer to pornography. Peter and Colin also discuss what the next declared vice will be. Possibly sitting.

GUESTS:
  • Peter Sagal - Playwright, the host of NPR’s Wait, Wait...Don’t Tell Me, and the author of The Book of Vice: Very Naughty Things (And How To Do Them)
  • Maria Konnikova - Staff writer on psychology and culture for The New Yorker, and the author of Mastermind: How To Think Like Sherlock Holmes and The Confidence Game: Why We Fall For It... Every Time
  • Robert Evans - Editorial manager at Cracked and author of A Brief History of Vice: How Bad Behavior Built Civilization
