Hobo Radio Puppet Theatre Presents: What Is A Hallway?

Sports terminology can be tricky. Even a simple sport that most people know how to play – like bowling – has its own intricate jargon used to describe the equipment and the facilities. And, as this week’s Hobo Radio Puppet Theatre shows, using the wrong terminology can turn a fun day of bowling into a shouting match in seconds.

The audio for this week’s Hobo Radio Puppet Theatre comes from Hobo Radio 256 – Ribs and salsa music. You can listen to full episodes by visiting the archives or subscribing on iTunes or on Stitcher.

[Special thanks to the ridiculously talented Jane Wynn for making these awesome puppets and to the great Kate Learson for making the video look amazing.]

Hobo Radio 258 – They’re single, ladies



If you have ever found yourself wondering why Joel Murphy and Lars are still single, no show has epitomized why the dynamic duo continue to live the bachelor life more than this week’s. They start by talking about their struggles with dating and their need to lose weight, then spend the rest of the time kvetching about the Writer’s Guild of America’s Top 101 Television Shows.

From skipping multivitamins to eating crap food, they continue to make bad choices with what they put into their bodies. And they continue to make bad choices in their romantic lives. But none of their choices are as bad as the WGAs television show rankings.

What’s the worst date Joel has ever been on? How does Lars really feel about Six Feet Under? Why does The Wire continue to be undervalued? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Walk On By” by Robin McKelle
