Episode 64: Mistresses Kinda, Sorta

weeklydictator — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 09:57:55 +0000

Well this week we more or less talked about famous historical mistresses, I think? I don’t really know. We definitely talked about… something. And mistresses. Definitely a few. Which ones? Oh y’know, Lady Smooches aaaaaaaand Madame… Kissy…mouth. Madame Kissymouth. Of the Denver Kissymouths? You wouldn’t know them, I guess.

Episode 63: Influenza

weeklydictator — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 11:04:05 +0000

This week Aurora and Josh are sick, so Will donned his finest surgical mask and his portable Purell dispenser and everyone talked about the flu. Having the flu is awful, so don’t get it. If you have it, hopefully this podcast will help out. If not, keep chugging water and vitamin C and get better. Also, this episode has some funny stuff in it, but I’m too sick to remember it well enough to write about it in the iTunes summary. Let them eat medicine!

This week, Aurora, Will and Josh talk about Louis the XIVth, Aurora’s hair (a famous person loves it!), Lucille Ball giving birth on TV, Dancing with the Stars, a mayor smoking crack, both Obamas and Aurora’s favorite moment in history, ever! Everybody’s laughing, everybody’s happy, it’s the Weekly Dictator podcast!

Episode 59: Attila the Hun

weeklydictator — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 11:29:21 +0000

The Weekly Dictator podcast is back and 2013-er than ever! This week Aurora, Will and Josh talk about Attila the Hun, whose name I still have trouble spelling (because I am dumb). The gang also talks about Dutch rock and roll bands and probably some other stuff, but that was the part that was super funny. Plus, TWO weeks in history for the price of on K-DUTCH, Dutch rock and roll radio. I mean… the Weekly Dictator podcast.
