Let's Do Lunch

On this week’s Naked Lunch podcast, co-hosts Phil Rosenthal and David Wild welcome back Keanu Reeves, Bret Domrose and Rob Mailhouse, who the shows writes are “our beloved rock power trio who we now consider Naked Lunch's house band. This is a loose and lively conversation with Dogstar about their powerful upcoming new album All In Now which comes out May 29th, as well as everything from doing Samuel Beckett on Broadway to touring the world as a band to overpriced tuna sandwiches from Mob relatives to acting alongside Steven Seagal to an unauthorized drive on to an old Paula Abdul video to why the hell there's only one "t" in Bret.”

The Weekly Stewart This Week

On this “The Weekly Show” podcast with Jon Stewart, the show writes, “As Elon Musk stands to become the world's first trillionaire through the SpaceX IPO, Jon is joined by Quinn Slobodian, co-author of the new book "Muskism," to understand how we arrived at this moment of tech oligarchy. Together, they explore how Musk built a trillion-dollar empire on government money and then used that empire to capture the government itself, and discuss how we can renegotiate the balance of power between public interest and private wealth. Plus, Jon answers listener questions about Trump’s amazing and enthusiastic boo-cheers, CNN, and Taco Bell, yet again! “

Wait, Wait...

On this week’s ‘Not My Job’ segment of the NPR quiz show Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!, the guest contestant is New York Times bestselling author and editor-at-large of America magazine Father James Martin.  His conversation with guest host Tom Papa is entertaining and often pretty funny, as they talk about his new book on the many jobs he had before becoming a Jesuit priest.  As well as telling the Wait, Wait… audience in Chicago stories about having met the new pope from Chicago.
