Dana just made my day with the Muppets trivia section. Thank you so much for that! I look forward to new episodes of this podcast more than any other, so I hope you all are able to keep it going!
This is the first podcast I listened to that introduced me to you guys. Really digged it and was also happy to hear that this podcast comes from my neck of the woods, the bay area. New fan.
The pronunciation of "Kiribati" (in the Merriam Webster dictionary: http://i.word.com/idictionary/kiribati) is not what the word looks like. It's "kiri-bass"! You can hear it on the MW website or on Forvo.com. Wikipedia lists the "kiri-body" pronunciation second.
The reason for that 's' ending is interesting: "The name Kiribati is the local pronunciation of "Gilberts", derived from the main island chain, the Gilbert Islands." (Wikipedia explains: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiribati)
Thanks for the boatload of knowledge you share through your show! Hope you find this interesting. :)

Dana,
Loved the Muppet segment but I'd have prefered to hear the original Muppet theme music with the classic voices rather than a new version where the voices are good but not the "right" ones.
