Getting to Know You (Part One)
We begin poring over results of the recent MNGS listener survey. Age and gender numbers, locations, as well as how you feel about specific show elements. Sharpen them pencils and hang on.

Let's Relax
I recall an old terrestrial radio jingle that began, 'Wow, what a weekend...' We might wanna sing it today, but necessarily intending it in a good way. So fast, so furious, so calorie and shopping-intensive. Take deep breaths, let's relax. (But I ain't coming over to rub your feet)

Nyooz
X(box) marks the spot, which this week seems to be right on the greedy asses of Messrs. Gate$ and Ballbuster, a fine career choice for noone: owning a bar, People pix Matthew, but do people really care anymore, and McDonald's comes up with the perfect gift for everyone longing for a heart attack.

Love, Just a Click Away?
After a very rough 36 hours, I wonder if things would be different if there was a Mrs. Nice Guy...uh, Nice Chick...Nice Woman; y'know. As we learn from the courts, the news, and personal experience, turning to the Web or other electronic means of communication are probably not the way to make that happen.

So Thankful
Show #200. Wow. Perfectly-timed, too, for deep reflections on Tgvg in the USA. Should we really be thankful for all the cheap junk people will be swarming the stores for tomorrow? Is it okay if it's the newly-opened 'Marvin Galleria?' One thing is for sure: there's definitely something to celebrate today and I've got all the details for you. Happppy Thanksgiving [and if you're not in the US, ooops, sorry. You're probably much better off].

Show Notes
Wow, one step closer to fame, but I promise I won't let it go to my head. Okay, maybe I'll try to let it go a teensie bit to my wallet as I discuss the touchy issue of 'monetizing' this epic podcast. Believe me, it doesn't change my contempt for the dollar...and wish that we could all go frolic and live in the forest off lottery winnings.

Festive Food for Thought
As Thanksgiving Day approaches here in the USA, I let you in on the planning process I go through for a warm, wonderful, meaningful, significant holiday celebration. Also, a look at a dining phenomenon that makes no sense whatsoever.

Family Matters
Y'know, we really are part of one big 'family,' aren't we, after all? You're sitting there thinking, 'Well, if we are, then you're several times removed!'

Fun with Sociology (Part Two)
On show 192, we wrap-up our look at a fascinating article on women behaving badly. Perhaps a future article will explain why they won't behave badly (in a good way) for me.

There's News
Judy Miller quits after becoming - or unbecoming to - the news, fusion fun coming from Coca Cola, Mary Mapes turns out to be okay, as she joins me in administering a nice verbal kick to the horny, corporate ass of Less Moonbeam, and the science of brain reactions to humour by gender. Also, on the lookout for the most annoying bank robber in history.

'Buddy'
Variousity
With a small, reluctant nod to Detroit, we celebrate a momentous occasion together and wonder about a bunch of colleagues in California doing the same thing this weekend. Also, SONY lacks wisdom and Audible comes up with a disonant idea.

So Noted (Part Two)
The unusual: Mr. Nice Guy socializes. The very usual: Mr. Nice Guy vents
about terretrial radio jerks. But, hey, this month, I've got *real* good
reason to.

So Noted (Part One)
The art of broadcast interviewing and the joy of vocabulary-building.
Please tell a friend about the show. If they don't understand podcasting,
why not take a mont to explain how easy it is: visit a site [like mine,
f'rinstance] and click. They can work on the more complex stuff later.
Let's hook 'em first!!
