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.

When it comes to immigration policy, what do Americans want?

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 the detestable Boston Red Sox and Fenway Park, Brandi Carlile, Declan the Dog, the pronunciation of Pupienus, frustration with the Hartford region … 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):
The Tom And Jerry Show – Hiromi
To Love Somebody – Robin McKelle and the Flytones, Lee Fields
Peg – Nerina Pallot
Obvious Child – I’m With Her
Just the Two of Us – Stacey Ryan
Until You Come Back to Me – Aretha Franklin
Ain’t Nobody – Jen Allen
