The Great American Talk Show: Season Finale

Just in time for the holidays, the season finale of the Great American Talk Show! As always, host Alex Doubet and cohorts Kevin Burrows and Alasdair Wilkins brought an absurdist look to news you don't care about and enlightening discussion you do. The episode originally aired on December 14, but now you can listen to it in its entirety: TGATS 12.14.08.

The Great American Talk Show will be taking a hiatus during the holiday and Orgy seasons, and will return to the air on January 31. Though our esteemed host Alex Doubet will be studying abroad in Florence next semester, Alasdair and Kevin will be back with two new hosts to continue the rich, comedic tradition for which TGATS has become so famous. We hope you'll join us!

From all of us at WHRB News, Happy Holidays!
