Hey everyone,
The main dashboard is currently under maintenance. Don’t worry—nothing is lost, and after we’re done with maintenance, tracks will appear.

I learned a lot from this presentation and feel a lot more confident in my ability to make decisions and explain concepts to faculty and students now, so it was definitely time well spent.

I am 33 years old and currently have $25,000 worth of student loan debt. The majority of my student loans are private loans from Sallie Mae. I’ve been paying back these loans since 2008 and my principal balance has not decreased. It sucks the interest rates on student loans are so high.

I have this sense, with more frequency than I would like, that major media organizations think of the First Amendment as something that runs in their favor but never against them. A First Amendment for me but not for thee.

You may remember that in January, I had invited Kasper Hauser, a noted San Francisco based comedy sketch team, to perform with me at Cobb’s Comedy Club.
But if you attended that show, YOU WILL NOT REMEMBER KASPER HAUSER AT ALL, because I unceremoniously booted them from the show because I talked for too long before inviting DR. ZAIUS TO PERFORM AS MARK TWAIN.
Needless to say, they were really angry about it. They trashed the whole backstage area. They urinated five hour energy drink all over the carpet and burned all the spare Dr. Zaius wigs with fire. Then they took the lunchmeat from the catering tray and tried to garrote me with it.
It was ugly, but I knew I deserved it. So even though my neck was all lunch meaty, I made them a promise: I would come back, and we would do a show together.
AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN ON SUNDAY, 4/29, when I and the four friends called Kasper Hauser return to Cobb’s Comedy Club!
Technically we are coming back to steam clean the green room carpets and sofa as part of an agreement we made to avoid a lawsuit.

JOHN HODGMAN/KASPER HAUSER REUNION SPECIAL
I really hope you will join us, as it will be a fun time and a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT show from what you saw in January.
If you do not know the work of Kasper Hauser, you must immediately listen to their now-classic STORIES FROM THIS AMERICAN LIFE, above.
If you do not know the work of me, why are you here? You really use the internet in a weird way.
That is all.
