    The worst. Am a fan of NLTPP - from the intro to the theme song and in and on. Not a fan. I gave it a year and a half - but truly awful.

    Get some actual music #1

    But really I don’t think there’s much hope. Can’t hear any more

  • Highly entertaining

    Paula and Adam are quick witted and Bonnie Burns is unintentionally HILARIOUS. Couldn’t have scripted her funnier. Running gags never get stale. Great show formatting. Unlike anything else.

    Adam’s audio is so poor it makes the episode almost unlistenable. Second show in a row!

    But I LOVE Paula!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 420: Kazoopalooza with Stephen Murray
Q: Who invented the kazoo and when did they do it?
The exact inventor is unclear, but researchers credit Barbara Stewart along with Alabama Vest and Thaddeus Von Clegg in Georgia in the 1840s, with ownership later passing to a New York factory that popularized the instrument.
Dear Crinkle Episode 101: THE POT POURRI SHOW ft. Out of the loop, Penis photo update, AND a new name for the Wrinkle bag!
Q: What should the listener do to feel more included at a party?
Sidle into a group, say hello, listen to the conversation, and contribute when you have something relevant to add, while also seeking someone by themselves to connect with.
EP 418: Lying Liars with Andrew Weissmann
Q: What can be done to deter political lies at a practical level?
Weissmann suggests state-level laws precluding criminals or enabling civil actions for material lies about elections or opponents, paired with careful, testable standards to prove intent, and public education about these standards to build support.
Dear Crinkle Episode 99: You say potato and I say potahto, ft. How do I deal with Pat? Should I say or should I ‘no?’ and Updates!
Q: What should KM do to stop Pat from interrupting in the office?
Be direct and set a clear boundary, such as stating you need to return to work and limiting conversations to a brief five-minute window, then enforce the timer and move on.
EP 415: Bloodsuckers! with Eleanor Spicer-Rice
Q: Is it true that mosquitoes are now attracted to DEET?
In lab studies, mosquitoes exposed to DEET and blood meals showed conditioned attraction to DEET, but in real-world scenarios DEET remains a primary repellent; the phenomenon is specific to experimental conditions and not a general rule.
