Hey guys welcome to episode 176 of the JV club I am delighted to report that this

episode is a recording of the live episode that I did the the All Jane Comedy Festival in the beautiful

Portland Oregon. I had two supremely fantastic guests, Sarah Merck who's a

wonderful, wonderful writer and illustrator and just all around extremely cool woman and the also equally amazing Janet Weiss who was a drummer for Slater Kenny,

and just about every other cool band

we all wish that we could be a part of.

And then we had Hutch Harris from The Thermals

do some wonderful musical renditions of not just the podcast theme song

but also very appropriate surprise off-the-cuff covers of songs pertaining to the podcast itself if I could just have

a cherish bee in my life all the time playing songs that would be great so I

really hope that you guys enjoy it.

Shout out wise I wanted to thank Swara for your email about the addictiveness of cheese.

I started thinking about cheese and I lost the ability to speak. Megan and Kendra thanks for your emails.

Holly, thanks for yours and thanks for your Facebook reminder to feast the bread.

Listen, if you haven't listened to the Morgan Walsh episode in a while,

It is a wonderful tie-in because Morgan is from Portland.

Nick, I want to thank you for your fantastic new Mash category

suggestions and George for yours.

Chris thank you for your shout out about the Rio Butcher episode on Facebook and
