Season 8 – Episode 24 • Surprise Me

redux — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 19:20:54 +0000

It is Intern Season, while we try aggressively to avoid the overpowering news about the royal wedding. In other news, Donald Trump seems to think he can be the president, and there seemed to have been some sort of terrorist killed this past week. We don’t remember, we didn’t see the news.

Season 6 – Episode 5 • Watch Us Change

Spam — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 05:00:28 +0000

As Barack Obama gets ready to assume the reins of American democracy, we discuss our own political development. The age of WYUR, our past and present at Dead Air, and the relative hotness of out interns. In that spirit, we decide to explore the changes we need to make to keep our show fresh and worthwhile, despite our ridiculous age. Join us as we pledge to be more professional, less scattered, and wear pants. Just kidding – we’re not gonna wear pants.

Season 6 – Episode 3 • No Title Necessary

Spam — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 05:00:45 +0000

We introduce a new cast member, Chumba, as we hear what happens when a drunken transvestite messianic hooker wants to sit at your table. PETA, our favorite whipping boy, suggests that Ben & Jerry’s switch to human breast milk, while we debate how tasty sea kittens might be. Meanwhile, the American stock market begins to tank, but that’s okay, since so is everyone else’s. Sarah Palin captures our attention – and our hearts – once more, while we try to figure out the difference between Joe Six-Pack and a hockey mom.

Season 5 – Episode 14 • Kids These Days

redux — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 15:50:15 +0000

Kids these days be crazy. They will do just about anything . . . as Zee discovers when he runs out of television to watch. Teen pregnancy appears to be on the rise among dumb girls, and people in general appear to be getting more awful as time goes on. Pinpointing what we learned was not easy.

Season 4 – Episode 1 • Internment Camp

redux — Mon, 14 Mar 2005 03:38:00 +0000

Beginning our new season with a song, we discuss the politics leading us to the need for new interns – four young ladies of virtue . . . something or other. The interview process is rigorous – and predictably creepy.

Season 3 – Episode 37 • In Limbo

redux — Sun, 22 Feb 2004 16:43:50 +0000

It’s a very disjointed Dead Air, as we conduct our episode under the constant siege of Dramatics Society students. Also, we try to find out how easy it is for an ex-convict to get a job at Wal-Mart.

Season 3 – Episode 33 • Boning Up

redux — Sun, 22 Feb 2004 16:41:58 +0000

A rare guest episode for us, we wait in studio for our promised Jewish rapper to arrive. He does not. So we spend our hour mercilessly mocking the entire concept of rap in general, and Jewish rap in particular. It’s not that we don’t like Fiddy Shekel, it’s that we think his music is bad.
