Summary

Alfred Yankovic is probably most famous for changing the words of well known songs so that they are about food, but he's so much more than that! We get superfan Evan Munro-Smith on this week to talk about the man, the myth, the legend, Weird Al!

This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 09:11 (Evan begins his personal anecdote about Weird Al) then the topic proper begins at 26:03 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
