Weâre off to Iowa with this weekâs hilarious guest, Rebecca Hanson (Mystery Science Theatre 3000)! Is it our own tiny, fun version of the Iowa caucuses? Not really! Do JV and Rebecca get a bit state-of-the-union about it all? Itâs the right week for it! So grab that weird-textured sushi and pull up a beanbag!
-
Youâve heard our Tegan & Sara and Juliet Landau episodes, now meet the woman who helped make them happen! Itâs filmmaker Chen Drachman (But Iâm a Shoe), who gave JV the chance to voice a sneaker! So grab a cone, pint, or quart and settle in for a chat about first loves of all sorts!

Grab your passport and get ready to dazzle French crowds with your voice, just as this weekâs guest, Ethio-Jazz Singer-Songwriter Meklit Hadero did! This revelation leads to some very fun parallel-lives moments with JV and Meklit, who both went to France between their jr. and sr. years of H.S.â though Meklitâs experience was decidedly more cosmopolitan!

Janet Varney has a new podcast with John Hodgman! Every episode they'll showcase a new state and explore its iconography-- especially it's often complicated, pretentious and latin motto.
Their first stop on their tour of every state, commonwealth and territory in the United States is Connecticut. Why Connecticut first? Theyâll explain.
Hear more about its legendary rich, sandy loam, the grape-filled seal, and its many attempts to create a state motto that sticks.
Plus, Janet speaks with Amy Holden Jones, creator of the film Mystic Pizza. Amy will tell us about how her movie was directly inspired by Connecticut⊠and give her own suggestions for a new state motto.
Produced by Julian Burrell.
Senior Producer at MaxFun is Laura Swisher.

Itâs the legendary Jenette Goldstein (Aliens, Titanic, T2) who graces us with her presence on this weekâs ep!

Boys of Summer 2016 hums along with considerably more relaxed ease than youâd feel if you had to drive a double-decker, British-steering-wheel-on-the-right-side bus through Savannah with Clint Eastwood counting on you.

-
Itâs our great honor to welcome one of the most unique Wicked Witches in the history of Oz!
