Ep. 4 - Why is "Her Is?" The Way It Is? - The Pajama Game (1954) - a podcast by Jonah Wilkinson

The Golden Age proves to be divisive. Listen in as MJ argues that Jonah is taking bop too literally, Jonah questions the shows improper use of grammar, both agree that we need more baritones, and brace yourselves for a surprise bike horn. You won't be ready for it. MJ and Jonah sure weren't.
