Kasper Hauser Sketch Featured On Upcoming Real "This American Life": Eff Me Sideways

From Rob:
After years of making our own fake versions of "This American Life," we're thrilled to have a Kasper Hauser sketch featured on the real "This American Life."

Tune in this weekend (3.14) to the "Wrong Side of History" show -- a new version of our "Phonecall to the Fourteenth" century is featured in Act III.

If you miss it live, you can catch the free podcast later, here.

Congrats, freaks!
