Usually, yay-today likes to keep things pretty spur of the moment- partly because free stuff gets announced fairly last minute, and partly because we personally aren’t that great at planning ahead. But sometimes, special events come along that warrant some advance planning, and this is definitely one of those things. On Tuesday, November 30th, Slate’s Culture Gabfest (aka my very favorite podcast in the whole world) is coming to Seattle for a live recording, and it’s FREE!
If you aren’t already an avid listener of the Culture Gabfest, you need to change that right now. It comes out every Wednesday and features 3 Slate columnists (your typically extremely witty, self-aware and overly educated East Coast-types) discussing the latest and greatest goings on in pop culture, whether it’s a much-hyped movie (recent reviews have ranged from The Social Network to Jackass 3-D) or scandalous celebrity gossip, like the Kanye West-Taylor Swift feud. And honestly, even if you hate the tabloids and refuse to watch prime time television, you will be endlessly entertained just by the fact that a feminist from Greenwich, Connecticut is analyzing Johnny Knoxville’s junk with utter frankness.
So if you haven’t been listening already, download the podcasts NOW and then go reserve yourself a seat for the live show on Tuesday, November 30. It’s at Town Hall and starts at 6:00 pm, and best of all, it’s FREE! But tickets are going fast, so you need to register today to ensure that you too can go listen to some overly intellectual discussions about our disposable culture. Trust me- if your eyes ever linger while perusing the tabloid covers in the grocery store check-out line, you’ll LOVE the Culture Gabfest. And you’ll love them even more in person. REGISTER NOW.
