Elsewhere, Kate's friends decided to surprise her by picking her up in her car. The only problem? They didn't know how to drive a stick, and burned out her clutch. And out in Montana, Dari's mechanics were fixing a sensor on her truck when it just happened to fall off the lift, at full height. Also, Peter… -

Actually, it may be more of an issue for his neighbor, who happened to be standing behind Henry's car when it made its morning billow from his tailpipe. Elsewhere, Lisa's Passat is sounding like a bad 1950's science fiction movie; and…

My friend Chris Diset was in this same situation a few months ago and used a little white balance trick to change the color of the sky. Taking a cue from his playbook, I used that same trick to help make something out of nothing. As I said, the sky was just downright ugly with no color in it at all, and…

Toobin told of a secret draft Citizens United dissent by Justice David Souter that has never been released—a draft that Souter, who has since retired, should now make public. -

It’s all in the family on Across The Airwaves Episode 82
14 May 2012 | 4:12 pmHi ATA Listeners, first off apologies about the delay in the release of this podcast, I had a nasty case of food poisoning that put me out of commission for a few days.

Either way, Woo and I still want to wish all you mothers out there a Happy Mothers Day, and I’d like to give a special shout-out to my mother for… -

Thoughts on the Show...
10 May 2012 | 10:31 amIt's been almost 6 years... It had crossed my mind to perhaps end the TLB show on show 150 sometime this or next year, for various reasons. But with all of the things going on that could severely effect our lives, I want to go for as long as we can. I like being a window into an average gay couple's life. I know over the years we have let people "see" a side they may not normally see when they think of a gay couple or gay people. I hope if nothing else, people see how normal we are, how like everyone else we are. We have made friends through the show that you would never imagine could be. I… -
