We'd like to assure you that your performance appraisal will be fair and balanced. Mostly.

Join us as we explore efforts to get a new addiction off the ground, and chortle to the sound of a 6-year-old comedian. We present a recording of an actual job appraisal, and report on a bit of so-called "news". Finally, we present a clip from an upcoming science-fiction mepic movie, because we were too busy to watch it ourselves.

Special Guests:

• Comedian Marshall Chiles (from Atlanta's Laughing Skull Lounge) as our addiction inventor

• Aaron Henkin of WYPR's The Signal conducting our job performance appraisal

• The Amazing Betty (who co-wrote the Performance Appraisal sketch) appears as Popular Blond Actress #7, Kelly Brilliant, and Computer

This show is dedicated to Ben Truslow and Ian Hesford.

Who knew this day would ever come to pasture? 

The team puts together an anniversary event unlike any other in podcasting history! (we think) Our Second Anniversary show celebrates the homespun charm of Baltimore's Govans neighborhood with a parade, and you won't believe the many gratuitous name-drops of Baltimore fixtures like: the Music Workshop, the Senator Theater, the Adam & Eve Hair Salon, WYPR, and the Wendy's at Bellona/York.

With our special guests:

• Tim Young as an announcer
• WomanTalk Live's Ann Quasman as herself
• The Amazing Betty as herself
• Marc Avon Evans (the famous singer) as him-or-her-self
• Nancy Graham as Drone Blondell
• WYPR's Lisa Morgan and Nathan Sterner as themselves

Huzzah!! Hope you enjoyed this special Anniversary Show as much as we hope you did!
