Our Sunday Long Weekendish Pick...'The Best Show'.

Tom Scharpling, the guy behind 'The Best Show', which he started on Philadelphia's free-form WFMU back in the earliest days of the millenium and used to archive for on-demand interwebz playback on that old warhorse, 'Real Player', just may be the real godfather of podcasting.

Anyway...

TS, talking to his various and assorted sundry assemblage of wastrels and weirdos, is back!

Except these days Scharpling roams around Southern California with a sterilized 25 foot length of co-axial cable that he throws out his car window so that he can safely talk to his next victim at a distance, which he did recently with that other garage band conversational Joe-Schmoe visionary  (i.e. the Strummer to his Ramone?), Marc Maron and the latter's super-sharp lockdown partner, film director Lynn Shelton.

Dig it!

And, returning to something serious for a moment...As more trial data starts to come in, the hydroxychloroquine story remains as murky as ever...Derek Lowe, a knowledgeable and proven honest broker on such matters, has the latest update.
