Notes

The show page on NPR.org lists the first segment as "Who's Carl This Time?" instead of "Carl Kasell's Countdown" and lists the only panel round segment as "Panel Round Two".

After Kyrie guessed "a cat" in her last Lightning Fill In The Blank question, Mo made several meowing sounds in response.
