New Episode! And it’s the long-awaited interview with Carson Kressley just in time for your Wednesday commute. We discuss college in the early 90s, fashion (of course), and keys to looking great no matter the occasion. Kurt makes a mid-show equestrian-themed cocktail with a punable name, and we sipped and shared memories of the sartorial splendor of bygone ages. Enjoy!

🆕 EPISODE! We start season 4 out with our highest level guest yet! We speak with Robert Schwartz, Vice President for Enrollment and Educational Services at Gettysburg College. Robert talks about what it is like to have the hardest job in academia in one of the strangest times for higher education. He works hard on the quiz as he goes head to head with his rival in the academic division, V.P. Chat, and discusses why you will almost never see him in sneakers or a tie. Finally, we put together a pair of cocktails for him: one for his beloved soccer team and one to help him get through his first summer as VP of Enrollment. Join us for this great beginning to our 4th season!
