0:00.0	From KCRW Santa Monica and KCRW.com, it's The Treatment.
0:14.5	It's The Treatment.
0:15.4	I'm Elvis Mitchell.
0:16.4	The last time our guest, Alex Borestein, was here. I described her as an actor, a producer, a writer.
0:21.9	She had yet to emerge as a director and more importantly as a singer, which she shows in her new special on Amazon, Corses and Clown Soot Sous.
