We heart Dan Savage.

Dan Savage being all charming 'n' stuff on Live Wire in '05.

So, not sure if you're aware, but we've book Dan Savage for the March 14 show. We kinda heart him, because last time he was on, he did a sketch with us that involved people dressing in nutria costumes. It was good.

Dan's done a similar thing lately with "Saddlebacking" as he did with "Santorum" a few years ago. I believe the whole thing originated from Dan's post-election visit to Stephen Colbert's show, in which he said things throughout the interview that clearly gave Colbert pause:

The Colbert ReportMon - Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c

Proposition 8 Protests - Dan Savage

We're looking forward to a good, clean, public-radio friendly conversation with Dan. For air. But you'll have to come to the show to see what doesn't make it on air. Wheeee!

Six word memoirs make us happy.

Brave audience members read their six-word memoirs.

At our February 13th show, we asked our audience to write 6-word memoirs about Love and Heartbreak (affectionately titled "Hi-and-Bye!-ku" by producer Kate Sokoloff). Some are about love and heartbreak, some just about the love part. Below are some of our favorites that we didn't get to air.

Another favorite was an audience member who drew a very rough estimation of a man's member on their memoir card, followed by: Ha ha ha ha ha (ha).

Hey, we never said it had to be six DIFFERENT words.

Thanks so much to our highly creative audience. We heart you!
