The Andrew Walsh Show show

Summary: More and more people are choosing to stay with strangers when they travel, but hotels are upset that a startup service, AirBnB, has made this easier than ever. The courts are set to rule for or against the existence of these unregulated inns. -Should judges be allowed to moonlight as comedians? A court gave a judge who was doing just that an ultimatum: be a judge or be a comedian. He chose comedian. -Listener Patricia has used AirBnB to find places to sleep and offer a place to sleep. She fiercely defends the service and says it fills a gap in the market. -Turns out those use by and sell by dates on your food is probably misleading you. Most things are still fine way after the printed date.
