Watch out! It's a live mic!

It's Rick Rose and Mark McNease together at the live mic every weekend, offering up small plates of opinion, politics, culture, and the world as we saw it this week.

On today's menu: The Pope does Manhattan, gay city tours, Josh Lanyon stops skirting the gender issue, pronouncing college pronouns, Carly Fiorina's privileged lies, Boehner begs off, and the Muppets destroy childhood!

Disclaimer: We're irreverent but respectful, write that down. We say what we think, and sometimes we say what you think, too. Join us every weekend with a cup of free trade dark roast and an equality scone, here on the Live Mic podcast (Libsyn, iTunes, SoundCloud, Stitcher, all around the world).
