In this episode, we interview an icon of American fashion, the one and only Carson Kressley, Gettysburg College Class of 1991. Carson came back for alumni weekend and graciously decided to come on our podcast to stroll down memory lane with two people he's never met before. We discuss college in the early 90s, fashion (of course), and keys to looking great no matter the occasion. Kurt makes a mid-show equestrian-themed cocktail with a punable name, and we sipped and shared memories of the sartorial splendor of bygone ages. And for the record, there is no reward for lost jodhpurs, but if found please let Ian know. Enjoy Carson Kressley in all his excellent eloquence.

We start season 4 out with our highest level guest yet! We speak with Robert Schwartz, Vice President for Enrollment and Educational Services at Gettysburg College. Robert talks about what it is like to have the hardest job in academia in one of the strangest times for higher education. He works hard on the quiz as he goes head to head with his rival in the academic division, V.P. Chat, and discusses why you will almost never see him in sneakers or a tie. Finally, we put together a pair of cocktails for him: one for his beloved soccer team and one to help him get through his first summer as VP of Enrollment. Join us for this great beginning to our 4th season of fun!

Kurt and Ian speak with Steve Gimbel, Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Gettysburg College. We speak to Steve about his work on Jewish Science Philosophers and why physicists don't do philosophy anymore. He also talks about his work on Jewish comedians in America and what draws Jewish Americans to humor. We give him a challenging quiz requiring proofs and learn about how your outfit can make or break you as both a professor and a comedian. Finally, we do our first-ever science experiment in Kurt's Cocktail Corner. Hopefully the results are reproducible!
