WRYAT S7E5 - Awards Show
WRYAT New Orleans Public Radio
Oh, it's my favorite time of year. The time when I can wear my fanciest suit. Get a nice flattering haircut. And roll out the red carpet. This is the only way to properly appreciate Arby's. MMMM Arby's. The horse sauce alone deserves to be honored with a plaque and a heartfelt thank you speech. Oh, oh, the curly fries should have a special category just for the best shape. I would die from anticipation just waiting to hear if the not-fully-cut-but-very structurally-sound-slightly wound-up piece won. Anywho, WRYAT is going to the public radio awards show. So cross your fingers and dried out...

WRYAT S7E4 - The Conservation Conversation
WRYAT New Orleans Public Radio
Politics today. Am I right? One dude yelling into another dude's mouth. Like a momma bird giving a baby worm chew. It's really beautiful. Nature is crazy, though. Like, this girl I knew in grade school once found one of those baby birds under a tree, and she took it home to raise it. Every night she feed it wet dog food and gave it water. Like, after a month, the thing grew up and was fluttering around the house. She stopped coming to school cause she wanted to make sure her "baby" was safe. Her parents tried to get her to go outside but she just locked herself away. I haven't been by her...

WRYAT S7E3 - Night of Film
WRYAT New Orleans Public Radio
There are times in life when you have had a rough day and all you want to do is grab a pizza and lay on the couch to watch a movie. The comfort of finally relaxing after being overworked by Tammy at the office. Getting her coffee and listening to her talk about how cute her kids are. How overbearing it is that she comes to check on you around lunch to see if you want to join several others at the office for some chicken at B-Dubs. The way she thanks you for your work and says nice things to "encourage" you. No thank you. Give me Robocop. Anywho, WRYAT explores the art of film in this week's...

WRYAT S7E2 - Total Recall
WRYAT New Orleans Public Radio
They say your memory is like a sponge. They say sponges soak up stuff but not everything. They say the movie The Stuff is a masterpiece of cinema and eventually the critics will wake up to its level of humor and horror that merges so seemlessly into a velvety concoction. Anywho, we totally look at brain stuff this week on this week's episode of WRYAT.

WRYAT S7E1 - Getting More Better
WRYAT New Orleans Public Radio
Seems like only yesterday we were just a fledgling fifth-ranked New Orleans public radio station trying to make it on our own in the cutthroat world of local broadcast journalism. Now we're a bigtime fifth-ranked New Orleans public radio station that's an esteemed member of the nationally syndicated Public Radio Now network. Gosh, time just flies by, and it reminds me to stop every so often and look at my hands. I mean reallllllllllly look at them. Those two, ten-digited octopi of creepy, wriggling appendages. Last year may have been rough, but at least I'm not one giant hand, I can tell you...

WRYAT S6E11 - Comedy
WRYAT New Orleans Public Radio
Lo and behold, WRYAT tackles comedy in the only way we know how, by loudly saying something is funny and not laughing, by explaining the joke for longer than the actual joke, and lastly, by asking you to come to our improv recital. Seriously, I got one coming up and I know I'm only a Level 3-Alpha 7, but if I can get three friends to come and one of them to sign up, I will have finally earned enough Carlin-Stars to advance a sub-level. Anywho, join us as we explore all that is funny at the same time we continue to explore all that is public radio.

WRYAT S6E10 - Alternative Lifestyles
WRYAT New Orleans Public Radio
How does one become alternative? Did they have to live during that weird time in the 90s when rock was super into flannel and dudes just really wanted to mosh? Or does one need to be really deep in their song lyrics? Wait, oh goodness, I didn't read the lifestyles part. haha. What a goof! Here I am with egg on my face thinking alternative rock when this week's topic was really about people with cool kinks doing stuff at weird parties that the alt-rock kids would write sad songs about not being invited to. Whoopsie-daisy. Anywho, go do weird stuff with weirder music.

Her parents tried to get her to go outside but she just locked herself away. I haven't been by her house in years but some say she's still there taking care of her baby birds and also starring in a bunch of movies and starting a website named after that baby bird. I think it was called Goop. Anywho, WRYAT finally has the talk about nature.
