No, not the Sesame Street Muppet and not the band that gave us "Another Brick in the Wall." In this context, Elmo was a mannequin and Pink Floyd a plastic flamingo.  And both were present during Mike's first year at Boy Scout Camp in 1990.

In this episode, we talk with Tom Gregory, the owner of Soda City Pinup in South Carolina.  We talk about the similarities of pin-up art and burlesque, and how it can be used to empower women.

Lisa Woolery joins us on the podcast to talk about adjusting to life in the Kansas City area, including what to do when a deer is injured on your lawn and the difference between KCI and MCI (they're the exact same place). Lisa's website: thewidowscomeback.com

Mike Hall is an Iowa-based musician and composer who does a lot of film compositions.  He was kind enough to join us to talk about music and film.

Morgan Piercy is a therapist based in the Kansas City area.  She was kind enough to come on the podcast to talk about Christian nationalism, the dangers it represents, and how to break from its control.  She even talked about her own history with the Christian nationalist movement.
