You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.

Today on the useless information retrocast, you'll learn about whether or not it's legal for a woman to pick her husband's pockets as he sleeps.

Hmm.

Or how about a Chicago man who mailed a $1 bill to 500 random people and simply requested that they'd put that in an envelope

and mail the $1 right back to him.

Or how about a drummer who came up with a unique way to get around his high school's band

on long hair?

He figured out a way so he wouldn't have to cut his hair.

And I'll add, if you were listening to rock

music in the early 1980s, you have almost certainly heard his work. And that's because he got

the gig of a lifetime working with a very famous singer. Well, all those stories, the question

of the day, today's retro sponsor, and so much more. It's all coming up next on

today's retrocast. I am Steve Silverman, and this is the Useless Information podcast.

Useless Information.

If you're looking for some of the sharpest takes on film and television, I hope you'll tune in to Critics at Large from The New Yorker.

Over here at Critics at Large, we like talking about what we love, but crucially, what we hate it, about what we're watching.

But even more, we like making sense of what's happening in the culture right now and how we got here.

Join us as we make our way from Eddington to Moby Dick,

from Ted Lassau to the rise in therapy speak,

from the pit to Luigi Manjone.

It's critics at large from the New Yorker,

wherever you get your podcasts.
