Paul Saginaw, Stef Chura and our new Ask-A-Teen segment on this weekend’s Saturday Six Pack

This coming Saturday’s show, assuming everyone shows up, should be pretty awesome.

The Washington Post on last night’s Wurst Challenge

A more comprehensive post will come later, once I’ve had a little more time to process the whirlwind of insanity that was last night, but I wanted to pass along this image from today’s Washington Post… How awesome is it that Ypsi is getting positive national press?
