(Double published to My Friend Lyssa and BS de Resistance) To mark the nation's Semi-Quincentennial, we've assembled the mighty Suffolk & Goode Players to serve up a Buc-ees-sized portion of comedy. NPR confronts its toughest challenge—producer Bari Weiss; we learn of a heart-breaking new affliction—Hereditary VO; the plucky Doyle Sisters try to solve a newsworthy crime; and the Broligarchs of AI insinuate themselves into schools, gaming, and meal delivery. And there's a song!
