Show #117: That’s One…

Summary: This week's episode: a special episode, recorded LIVE at Dragon*Con 2011, with special guest Jonathan Coulton. We discuss Jonathan's new album and songwriting process at length; the absence of monkeys; puzzles vs. mysteries; pervasive sadness; writing for and with bands; a new manner of public shaming audience miscreants; musical influences; background music; terrible sights we've seen and the retelling of the Madison Kitten Rescue; flavored chips; whither w00tstock; and the Planet Money story. Big thanks to Swoopy for running the room, and to Ken Plume and Widgett Walls for putting together our whole Dragon*Con experience!
