Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone

We’ve been exploring career options for Paula on our “Career Corner,” but could she actually land any of the jobs she might apply for? Job interview guru Joseph Ingam drops by to give Paula some pointers on how to make a lasting impression that isn’t just, “Wow, she sure can talk.” Then, just in time for the release of blockbuster-in-waiting “Avengers: Endgame,” Paula and Adam review “Avengers: Age of Ultron” to see if we can help you decide whether to see the new one. [SPOILER ALERT: We can’t. You’ve already made up your mind. Admit it!] Guest: Joseph Ingam Head Coach, Interview SOS Website: House band: Mara Wells, harmonica

Paula’s dog Sirius (AKA “PodDog”) may be getting a new brother or sister sometime soon, so we have certified dog trainer Tracy James on hand to teach us how to teach a new dog old tricks, and vice versa. Then, the legendary Fred Willard stops by to help Paula with her non-legendary audition skills in our continuing series, “Outside the Actors’ Studio.” Plus, both Paula and Ray Horseman Studios have new neighbors - termites and a marijuana dispensary, respectively.

Paula’s got a brilliant idea for a new cat litter box, but how can she make sure it doesn’t get stolen by Big Litter? Intellection property attorney Michael Cohen (no, not THAT one) is here to explain patent law. And the LA Opera’s Jeremy Frank stops by again, this time to attempt to teach Paula and Adam to sing in harmony. Also, does life really taste better when you do it with Daisy (sour cream)? We put that claim through our rigorous testing process. Guests: Michael Cohen Intellectual Property Attorney Owner, Cohen IP Law Group Website:

Remember that thing you said you weren’t going to forget? Paula doesn’t. Which is why we have cognitive psychologist Dr. Alan Castel on hand to help us jog our memories. Which, it turns out, might involve actual jogging. And speaking of things that are going once... going twice... in this week’s Career Corner, Auction Specialist Zack Krone helps us find out if Paula has a future as an auctioneer. Also, if Paula has no future at all, at least we’ve now discovered what we’ll be listening to at her funeral.

It’s the second and final week of the Maximum Fun Pledge Drive, and we’re ever-closer to our self-decreed goal of 10,000 new members. Actually, we don’t know how close we are, but if we hit it, we’ll throw a party. And if we throw a party, it’ll be with the help of our guest, events planner Beth Helmstetter! Also, in preparation for the release of Tim Burton’s “Dumbo,” Paula and Adam review a related classic, Brian De Palma’s “Scarface!” We promise this makes sense. A little. Also, meet the first winner of our Hotel Soap Contest, and we find a whole class full of Nobodies listening to Paula Poundstone... in Sweden!
