Despite the din of the bus, I really enjoyed the bus commute. I think you could make an entire episode of riding the Worcester buses. I’d watch (with the volume turned down a bit.)
Congratulations on 100 episodes.
Thank you so much for letting me appear. It was great fun — I was just so excited to meet Jeff (though when my husband asked me how it was, I think all I could say was “I met Kevin Ksen!” in the way some people might say “I met Bill Clinton!”) and it was great to see the many of you again (and some for the first time).
I spent some of Friday afternoon thinking about something intelligent to say, but obviously those thoughts didn’t go too far.
Here’s to 100 more episodes!
I love that the “Vegetarian Renaissance” was eclipsed by layout and design of street signs!
I enjoyed Matt’s “The 508 Song” and want to know if that will be the lead in for future episodes?

Colin: Matt thinks the song (which was passed down to him) is from an old Worcester marketing campaign. With the number of marketing campaigns we have, I’m waiting for the all-jingle album.
You can find the original song here.
I think they should have hired Matt to sing it.
