Brendan Francis Newnam and Rico Gagliano, hosts of The Dinner Party Download, join us to offer some tasty tidbits to kick off your weekend gatherings: the dirty secret of Manhattan liberal ladies - they love Michele Bachman's hair. Plus, this week in history Sweden switched driving from the left to the right side of the road and a new app that will tell you how fast to drive to make that green light.

About The Madeleine Brand Show
The Madeleine Brand Show, exclusively on 89.3 KPCC, 89.1 KUOR and 90.3 KVLA, captures the spirit of the West in a conversational, informal, witty style and examines the cultural issues people are buzzing about. Hosted by Madeleine Brand, and produced by Kristen Muller, Steve Proffitt and Sanden Totten, the show includes regular segments like Weird L.A. - highlighting a person, place or thing that you've never heard about, but probably should; Parenting on the Edge - a weekly discussion on the challenges and pitfalls of raising kids; as well as regular contributors like Luke Burbank, Rico Gagliano, Brendan Newnam and John Moe to help dissect culture, technology and business news.
