Barbara Edelberg The Wire-Tap segment aired on KPCW in Salt Lake today had Howard accepting an offer to take over Jonathan's job. There was music playing intermittently before each small segment of this story...WHAT WAS THE MUSIC AND WHERE CAN I GET IT??? Thanks! - Barbara

Debra Shadoff About two years ago, on mother's day, there was an episode where Jonathan and Howard tried to outdo each other on who's mother was crazier. My mom and I laughed so hard we cried and I almost had to pull my car over. I would love to have a podcast of that episode

The episode might be "Where Do Babies Come From and Where Do Babies Go?" It's originally from Season 5 and was rerun this season.

Joe Amon

Joe Amon Thank you, Jonathan, for your retelling of the Jacob and Esau story. I was amazed at the humanity you managed to bring to these figures that, up until now, had been flat and lifeless in my mind.
Favorite quote: "What kind of person punches an angel?" Jacob thought.

Nicely stated. I liked that Linda was referred to as the "girl who worships idols" by her mother-in-law.

Jake Lewin thank you for the new itunes podcast! I've been interested in WireTap for a long time and it's nice be able to listen. Have downloaded a bunch of episodes and am loving it. I almost crashed my truck when Howard said he wanted to have close relations between his apartment country and Canada.

Stuart Themens

Stuart Themens WireTap is the Seinfeld of Radio, Occasionally funny, somewhat entertaining, but mostly just a waste of time. Maybe thats the point? I don't understand why Jonathan just drones on in his monotone voice, word after word with no expression or emotion. Perhaps this is so we can interpret his words for our selves, free fro...m vocal tones that would subjectively influence us. Is he the embodiment of the objective narrator?
I did enjoy the segment about tela marketers, and when he speaks to his parent s on the phone I can't help but laugh.
But when I hear that monotone voice I can't help but think "What's the deal with that?"

Jason Hesbach We need a follow up from the pet insurance for the rapture episode. Has anyone tried to file a claim?

WireTap

WireTap A mother is pregnant with twins. She hears the voice of God which tells her that her sons will one day father warring nations. Even while still inside her stomach, they fight hard enough to knock her from one end of the house to the other. Is there any hope of the brothers ever becoming friends? It’s the story of Jacob and Esau on this week’s Wiretap.
