"John Hodgman is a very funny man."

Dang... how's that for a lead on All Things Considered? Hodgmania continues to sweep the nation. Here's the story.

Previously, on an obscure program listened to by 1/1,000th as many people:
Hodgman on TSOYA (one)
Hodgman on TSOYA (two)

Yes Hodgman *is* a very funny man. Your first interview with him is what hooked me on your show.

I pine for the revival of the Little Grey Book lectures.

I was about to suggest him last time you asked for guest suggestions, but then I realized this was where I heard of him in the first place. Though I suppose I would have seen him on the Daily Show soon enough, I thank you for that greatly.

Thank you for listening to the radio, Jesse.

I enjoyed talking to Robt. Seigel, but I also first discovered myself on your show, and I'm eager to come back whenever you'll have me. Coulton and I are in LA at Book Soup on Oct 9 for the paperback if that helps.

Meanwhile, have you considered Lawrence Weschler as a guest?

I've heard of Lawrence Weschler... but I can't remember where I found out about him.

I expect a return engagement from you and a "first time for everything" game attempt from Mssr. Coulton come October.

Sort of unrelated, as usual, but I think I'm going to bring in The Areas of My Expertise as my summer reading book for school, since everything I actually read over the summer was excessively nerdy.
