I wrote a lot of things for you at the AV Club. Here's my American Idol recap, my thoughts on things that went over my head when I used to watch "Grease," and coverage of some of my favorite podcasts for Podmass.

If you live in Chicago, Monday evening I'm going to appear at the live podcast of You, Me, Them, Everybody at the Hungry Brain alongside funny guy Ricky Carmona and musician Michael Lux. See you there?
