Guest host Jane Testar is up to her ears in comedy and salmon. We put the heat on pot cars, Diana Francis tries to add some colour to her wardrobe and to men, we register our long guns (wink wink), and Mother Nature calms our fears about water contamination. It's a virtual comedy BONANZA!

Guest host, Jane Testar takes over for guest host, Dean Jenkinson. Who will take over for Testar? She'll let the comedy do the work for her. New words for the dictionary, a manifesto on our right to the Internet and Patrick Ledwell waves goodbye to summer with a smile on his face.

Guest host Dean Jenkinson tackles good health, superheroes, popular politicians, and other things that don't really exist.

Or "Stockwell's Logic and Other Unreported Crimes". Guest host Dean Jenkinson wonders how the government makes decisions while contributors Darrell Dennis and Patrick Ledwell contribute their contributions.

Host Mike O'Brien has an extremely important appointment to get to, so he gives less than his usual 60 per cent and rushes through the podcast, introducing sketches about the game show inspired by Canada's Census debate, the revolutionary brainstorming about table salt, and the Facebook privacy scandal. Finally, one litigious native musician argues that most people don't actually march to the beat of a different drum. Then the host is out the door!

Ottawa's flap over the national head count convinces us to follow a census-taker when he stops at a surprising address. We ponder Paula Abdul's future, and the folks at Revision Quest ask: what's so funny about First Nations ecology?

Today's podcast is named after the incredibly cool, somewhat unintentional feature of the latest iPhone. It hangs up. When you hold it. Nifty, huh? Also nifty is the Liberal Party's new ad to promote its leader's cross-country tour. We present the one-year anniversary of the sketch about the 40-year anniversary of Woodstock. And, introducing, the first Metis!

We look for an upside to the continuing death spiral of Mel Gibson's personal and professional life. And we look back to the Oka crisis, twenty years ago. And if all that looking wasn't enough, we also look back into the comedy vault for a sketch about cruelty-free rodeo.

Believe it or not, this podcast is put together in Canada. And yet, this week's episode includes a financial planning seminar with none other than Queen Elizabeth II. We also add a bit of James Bond to Canada's button-downed top spy. And Diana Frances brings us the headlines from her comedic headquarters in BRITISH Columbia. Blimey!

Summer's here, but you wouldn't know it from the crappy weather. Our comedians offer up clues for spotting the true signs of summer, as well as ways the airlines could lower the price of your pending vacation. We look at the odd method for naming sports teams after native people. We celebrate Canada Day with a lesson more hysterical than historical, and Diana France wishes a great comedian a fond farewell.
