with Lisa Hanawalt
Lisa Hanawalt is a cartoonist, writer, and author of four brilliant books, including "Hot Dog Taste Test," "My Dirty Dumb Eyes" and her latest book, "Coyote Dog Girl." You may be familiar with her work on the popular animated Netflix series "BoJack Horseman" where she's a producer. Hanawalt is the creator of the new show "Tuca & Bertie." It's an animated series on Netflix. Tuca and Bertie is a show about two women. Anthropomorphic bird women, to be exact. They live in Bird Town. Tuca is a toucan. She's outgoing and fun, but kind of a mess, too. She doesn't really have a solid job. Bertie, her best friend, is a songbird, kind of a homebody, a little shy and deferential. When the show starts, she's just moved in with her boyfriend. A lot of the problems Tuca and Bertie encounter are fairly human and grounded: relationship stuff, work problems, sexual harassment. But the world they live in is anything but. The show is breathtakingly drawn and totally surreal. Show notes

Is Public Radio trying to "Keep it real"?
Wow, as I was almost going to sleep listening to that Downton Abby interview, I was pleasantly surprised to hear such an NPR-ish podcast come with it talking about 40-Water. When people say public radio is stiff, white and liberal, it's a decided lack of this type of material that creates that public image. More exposure to American subcultures would make a 'Gargantic' difference in keeping what talk radio shows relevant and alive.
And pardon my hyperbolic deference to Downton Abby, I like it... not as much as Luther, but I understand Luther wasn't an Emmy winning, Producer's guild nominated show. But what do they know... I just like Luther and E-40 better. =) Keep up the good work, "Bullseye."
