We’ve been doing these shows where we don’t book any guests, where we fill the hour with your calls. And your calls have been interesting and surprising and amusing.

These shows are fun for us, and they seem to be fun for you, too. So we did another one.

This week's topics include how to toast bread properly in a toaster, if anyone gets mad on NPR, Joni Mitchell, "comfortability" and changing language, outdated phrases, and more.

You can now watch our calls shows on Connecticut Public’s YouTube. Subscribe and get notified when we go live. Or join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.
