Two Truths And A Lie

April Fools is back for more! Today we've got three stories about liars, one of which is itself a lie. Can you spot the wolf amongst wolves? Sam Hunter gets faces off against the fates after crashing his car. Rose Marziale tries out lying, and quickly realizes some flaws in her strategy. And Rachel Knight learns to cope with some vicious lies being spread about her.

Our Month of April Fools has arrived. And what better way to kick it of than with a few pranks? Scott Bartenhagen convinces his friend he is from the future. Matt MacNelly pulls off a prank perfectly - except for the fallout. And Matt McManus (no relation) gets a lifetime of karmic retribution for the world's longest prank.

Three of our best lies from our first 12 episodes - now that you know they are lies, will that change how you view them? Featuring stories from Emily Goglia, Alex Stein, and Nathan Turner

Have you ever felt like you don't belong? Three stories of people finding themselves in a situation they didn't mean to get themselves into. Amy Silverberg tries her hand at hardcore investigative journalism...as a 4th grader. Jen Curcio goes to jail over someone else's pot farm. And Jacob Anderson accidentally runs for mayor...against his dad.

Let's face it - you probably didn't go pro with that high school dream of yours. Maybe you didn't even make it on the Junior Varsity team. So listen to these three athletic failures and be glad you knew when to quit.Julia Eve Hays plays professional basketball dressed like an owl. Rachel Germaine is a pretty sleek swimmer, until things get hairy. And Michael Kass earns the admiration of the jocks the old fashioned way - through pornography.

With Valentine's Day coming up, we thought we'd dispense with the romantic love in favor of the awkward, the profane, and the traumatic. Three stories about learning how to love one another: Danny Lobell (Mostly Bull Market, This American Life) tells us about giving his parents a loving, if ill-conceived, anniversary gift; Rachel LeGault (OMFG!, WolfPop) tries her hand at internet dating as a 12 year old; and Victoria Sayeg (Refuel, Stay Gone) learns how to love and find peace after a devastating crime.

You know, your parents might have been right about a couple of things - sometimes, strangers are not to be trusted. Juliette Goglia found out about that one with a 53 year old man from the internet. Roger Panameno found out with a couple of thugs on a dark street. And Melanie Maras found that out with a Good Samaritan who had some ulterior motives.

This Christmas, we're celebrating the other times of year. You know, when it's not miserably cold and the days are much longer. Kim Kalish inadvertently turns on 250 firemen on the biggest drinking holiday of the year. Alex M. Stein gets over his fear of Valentine's Day, but encounters something much worse. and Sam Fierstein finds himself in an uncomfortable situation, as Santa watches over him.

Remember that terrible job you had in college? How could you forget. These stories will at least help you commiserate. Allison Husko tells us about wearing knee-highs and being covered in beer. Corinne Derushatalks about the bullies that older ladies with knitting needles can be. And Cameron Johnson gives in to the temptation while working the cafeteria line.

Our families teach us everything we know, and what we learn from our parents becomes a part of our stories as well. The teach us to eat everything on our plate, no matter what, just like Trent Bruce's mom. They teach us that intimacy is ideally a private affair - and hopefully, it includes soundproofing, as Erin McGown found out. And they teach us that honesty is always the best policy, unless you're trying to get into Disneyland, as Taylor Mallory's family knows too well. Take a listen, and then thank your parents.

Three uplifting stories to warm you up by the fire. Caron Clancey escapes from a will-they-won't-they RomCom. Joe Levi saves the farm in Fancy Dress. And Katy Dolle stops a bully, and starts a movement.

'Tis the season for spooky, scary, sinister stories. Kieren van den Blink makes her debut when someone takes the phrase "Break a Leg" a bit too seriously. Alex Amerri gets rocked by a Ouija board in a closet, and Emily Goglia learns how to live with her phantasmagorical roommate.

The stories we gain when we lose something important. Jane Cohen talks about causing the loss of some art. Megan Kim loses her cool accoutrement during the Backdraft experience. And Jake Anderson achieves the impossible - destroys a Nokia cell phone.

Come along with our storytellers as they attempt discovery. Danny Lobell (This American Life, WTF, Host of Modern Day Philosophers) searches for an idol. Michael Minto (3 Twins Comedy) finds out some geneology. And Kenneth Rudnicki (Portable Currency Theatre) discovers a new passion.

Stories from big to small revolving around traveling. Taylor Funkhouser almost gets caught trafficking. Jeff Wienckowski keeps his shoes but loses his girlfriend in Paris. And Nathan Turner rushes to someone's aid in Moscow.

In this episode, we stare deep into the eyes of deception. Seems fitting, no? Calli Dunaway hides the rite of passage known as Minor in Possession. Keith McEly finds himself turning into an unwilling Woody Guthrie. And Sara Garcia considers what's really important in life; mainly, a set of wheels.

Tiger Moon and her tribe face off against the FBI. Adrian Lopez faces off alone against his inner demons. And Erick Barrientos faces off against suburban boredom.   Recorded live at Angel City Brewery. Music in this episode by Scott Bartenhagen.

For our first episode, we decided to tackle a nice and easy subject - Lust. Cate Scott Campbell learns about her own romantic life through a food blog. Claire Kaplan learns about chivalry and its failings. And Sam Hunter learns what romantic gestures are appropriate at 30,000 feet. Music in this episode by Scott Bartenhagen.
