This hour, the conversation winds around to Columbus Day, Colin’s favorite joke, textures, J.R.R. Tolkien, the movie The Apprentice, food allergies, our fundraising drives … Anything. (Seemingly) everything.

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

This hour, the conversation winds around to Columbus Day, Colin’s favorite joke, textures, <a href="https://www.ctpublic.org/show/the-colin-mcenroe-show/2024-08-14/to-the-hobbits-celebrating-the-lord-of-the-rings-and-its-enduring-appeal">J.R.R.

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

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.
