This week's show - EARLY!

I've got to spend the day listening to politicians talk about climate change (see my NYT blog post last night about Clinton's praise of McCain) and my aunt arrives today for a five-day visit, so I decided to go and get this week's show up earlier than usual. It should arrive in the feed later tonight but you can download it direct by right-clicking on the date below. Carrot Top was a terrific guest, answering everything from why he's so hated -- and loved -- and whether he's had any, uh, help getting so buff. If you're not already subscribed to the show, you can do so via iTunes here or via Zune here.

Aug. 21: Carrot Top @ The Podcast-a-Palooza!

**NOTE: THE AUDIO IS A LITTLE ROUGH AND NOT EDITED THIS TIME SINCE IT WAS LIVE AND THAT'S THE CHARM OF IT. HOPE THAT'S OK!**

You may love him or you may hate him, but you cannot deny this one truth: Carrot Top is a Vegas star. And he’s the kind of star whose act could only have this kind of longevity on the Strip. Scott Thompson, the comic with the enormous orange plume and the shockingly ripped physique, joins us live today to explain his journey from Butts Road – no, really – to Las Vegas Boulevard. That’s coming up. Plus, news from Vegas, a new poll, the trivia question and, as always, the Top Secret Tourist Tip of the Week. This is The Strip, we’re at the Palms and our part of the 2008 Vegas Podcast-a-Palooza starts right now.

PLUS: The P-Ho rapproachement, Sheldon Adelson's protection and Steve's pre-Palooza nightmare.
