Episode #15: Mystery Mélange No. 2

Jennifer couldn't settle on one particular topic for tonight's show, so she decided to throw together odd bits of news and ideas from around Circa 19xx Land, run those bits through the old salad spinner, and see how it all comes out on the plate.  The result: our second "Mystery Mélange."  If you've been listening to Circa Sunday Night over the last several months you know that we've served up a tasty mélange before:  it's a mystery because you never know what each new segment will bring.  What's different this time:  Jennifer traverses some grim quarters of Circa 19xx Land.  (Don't worry—we don't stay there for long.  We're all about sweetness and light on this show!).  So, pull up the covers and turn off the lights.  This little episode is just plain weird.
