This week's show features best-selling author and actor Amy Sedaris along with Grammy award-winning They Might Be Giants. We hear what went on behind the scenes when the founding fathers were writing the Declaration of Independence, we hear from the schoolmaster at the school referenced in Pink Floyd's The Wall, and we get a little insight about what would happen if Winnie the Pooh took an office job.
Amy Sedaris is a five-foot Grecian spitfire from North Carolina who studied and performed with Chicago's Second City, an improv and sketch comedy theater. She's a best-selling author and starred in Comedy Central's Strangers with Candy. She has guest-starred on many popular television shows, including Sex & The City, Raising Hope and Hot in Cleveland. She most recently appeared in a several-episode arc on The Good Wife. She has been in several films including Elf, Snow Angels, Puss in Boots and The Best and the Brightest.
They Might Be Giants are known and much beloved for their energized live shows and their inventive songwriting. They've won two Grammy awards, contributed to film and TV soundtracks, made hit DVDs, become Musical Ambassadors for International Space Year, appeared as cartoon characters, written music for a robot ballet and topped the iTunes podcast charts. Their latest album is Join Us.
