Our final send-off before a well-reserved dest.

After a brief pause to remember our fallen veterans, we surge ahead with a story about Simple Living and Sailing, stop and smell the music with a delirious local musician, and welcome our new film critic, Peter O'Toole. Finally, we go out in the field with the National Mom.

Special Guests:

• Teresa Carey and Ben Eriksen. Find out more about Simple Living in Teresa's blog: Sailing Simplicity & the Pursuit of Happiness.

• Glenn Ricci, musical mastermind behind Delirium Dog and sound designer for the Scarehouse haunted attraction in Pittsburgh

• Carole Montgomery, comedian and writer, aka the National Mom

• The Amazing Betty

Show includes portions of "Vortex" and "Stay" by Delirium Dog. Show graphic from this blog about Central Florida.

What is this thing called . . improv?

Our Host bounces almost all-the-way-back from throat surgery, thanks to the fearless intervention of the Amazing Betty. Then he unwittingly learns about something called "hyper-local" news with a representative of Patch.com.

Next we tackle the whole "improb" conspiracy, with writer/director and sometime improviser Patrick Flynn. After introducing a new marketing campaign for a major bovine charity known as "the Heffer", we kick our reporter to the curb outside Baltimore's ultra-cool Atomic Books, to talk publishing with store manager Ben Ray (who is played in this sketch by his understudy).

Special Guests:

• Nathan Sterner (of WYPR) as Mr. Fribble Patch

• Patrick Flynn (of UnknownPenguin.com) discusses the topic of Improvisation

• Benn Ray of Atomic Books (as played by William Patrick Tandy, of Smile, Hon, You're in Baltimore)

• The Amazing Betty of the Inverse Delirium Potcrust
