Live radio lives! Kurt recently stopped by theAladdin Theaterin Portland, Oregon forLive Wire–an old school variety show with a modern twist, recorded in front of the hippest audience west of the Mississippi.

It’s a heck of a good time: smart conversation, a killer house band, and live radio theater that could give our buddy at Lake Wobegon a run for his money. All that, plus some great performances from slam poet Anis Mojgani and indie folksters Horse Feathers.
