We’ve been doing these shows where we don’t book any guests, where we fill the hour with your calls. And your calls have been interesting and surprising and amusing.

This hour, the conversation winds around to parenting, poison ivy, papal missives, lake scum, oligarchy, cerebral atrophy … Anything. (Seemingly) everything.

These shows are fun for us, and they seem to be fun for you, too. So we did another one.

Music featured (in order):


Water – Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band


Click Clack Symphony – RAYE, Hans Zimmer


Dreamer’s Holiday – Champian Fulton


Coyote Summer – Aesop Rock, Blockhead, Hanni El Khatib


The Music Never Stopped – Don Was and the Pan-Detroit Ensemble


Lasso the Moon – Ashe


The Greatest Show on Earth – U2

The Colin McEnroe Show is public radio’s most eclectic, eccentric weekday program. The best way to understand us is through the subjects we tackle: Neanderthals, tambourines, handshakes, the Iliad, snacks, ringtones, punk rock, Occam’s razor, Rasputin, houseflies, zippers. Are you sensing a pattern? If so, you should probably be in treatment. On Fridays, we try to stop thinking about what kind of ringtones Neanderthals would want to have and convene a panel called The Nose for an informal roundtable about the week in culture.
