Painter/poet/gallery owner George Grace joins us in a post-metabolic discussion that involves dead life painting, cutting six inches off Henry Lewis, presidential pitfalls, blood meridians, and living in Nashville. In addition to all that, George reads two poems about plastic bags and falling off a ladder. Mr. Answer Man perorates on the power of puppy love.

Among the varied topics discussed are Vermont McMansions, Nicaraguan landslides, surviving on Coca-Cola and beer, how the media saved Chiapas, Mexico, why nobody ever goes to Brasília, and how photography helps us relate to each other.

Laugh along as Messrs. Burnham & Dodge are joined by not one but many guests in this, their 4th anniversary show.

And it’s Mr. Answer Man to the rescue when the ThinkTwiceRadio housecat Mr. Twinkles turns out to be female.
