Ahoy! This week's episode of HWYW stars the one and only SIGGY FLICKER! Can you believe she's here? Well, she is! After a lifetime of HWYW chatter and hype over DATING EXPERT SIGGY FLICKER, we finally got her on the show. And her personality is so big; her very SIGGY FLICKERNESS too towering, that we couldn't fit another guest on the show. We would have been fools to even try!

Anyway, yes. DATING EXPERT SIGGY FLICKER is here to tell us about her life story, growing up in Israel, what women can learn from her and why she doesn't respect Patti "made out of snakes" Stanger's methods when it comes to matchmaking.

There is also talk of Siggy's beautiful name and how fellow children mangled it! Why she doesn't THINK she gives the best advice! And what Siggy really likes to do when she goes into her favorite restaurant.

Plus, Kathie Lee Gifford's friend and the good cause her jewelry goes toward, the problem with holiday gift guides, my new love affair with The Real Housewives of Miami, what Animal Practice was about, and an embarrassing story involving Joy Behar and guinea pigs.

The blackest of Black Fridays to you! This week's episode of HOW WAS YOUR WEEK kicks off with a talk with the very funny DAVID REES (How To Sharpen Pencils, Get Your War On) about his career path from cartoonist to artisanal pencil sharpening, and how the census and his divorce played a part in that unique journey.

Then, Tony-winner and fabulous actress LAURA BENANTI (Gypsy, Go On) is here to tell us about why she thinks cats are face-eaters, the time she got wasted with Patti LuPone and woke up in the shower, and what it's like to have a womanly face.

Also, humidifiers and why/how they frustrate! Stuffing's status as a fine holiday food! The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and its wan offerings! And a treatise about boy-puss. A fine, non-turkey of a show!

Gobble Gobble! Go away, turkey! It's not your time yet.

This week's episode of How Was Your Week is jim jam-pick packed! TIM HEIDECKER is here to talk about his role in the new film The Comedy, and the time he went to a taping of Russell Brand's BRAND X television show and almost got kicked out by Brand himself.

Then, LISA HANAWALT and EMILY HELLER, the hosts of the podcast Baby Geniuses, are here to tell Julie about Lisa's affinity for birds, the time a roommate froze a possum in Emily's freezer, and why MRS. DOUBTFIRE stands up to repeat viewings.

Plus: some choice sentences from Stephen King's THE SHINING! How the Petraeus thing is like HOMELAND, but skeevier! A new section of the show called Kompliment Korner, and how Anne Hathaway's giant pretty face fits into it! And some pressing questions about Henry Rollins.

A fantastic show not worthy for the stupid drunk loud idiots in my courtyard who woke me up the other night.

Happy Post-Election Day! This week's episode of HOW WAS YOUR WEEK features talented designer, pop culture icon & all around wonderful and handsome gentleman TODD OLDHAM, who talks to Julie about Grey Gardens, Amy Sedaris, La-Z-Boys, House of Style, John Waters, animal rights, kindred spirits, and what it was like to work in fashion before the whole thing changed.

Then, NIKKI GLASER discusses her partnership with Sara Schaefer, with whom she hosts the podcast YOU HAD TO BE THERE, then tells a harrowing story about an ex who made up a "funny rap" about her bad breath and how she reacted to the pain. This is a therapeutic conversation you are fortunate to be privy to! Enjoy it, then live your best life.

Plus: a special about animal friendships that uses an iconic theme song in a thrilling manner, then chokes you up until you can't breathe! A condemnation of Savannah Guthrie and her makeup choices! Phaedra's new spin-off vocation! A question posed about Megyn Kelly which must not be answered! What NOT to watch on the elliptical! And how to procrastinate in an unproductive way, so your eyes still burn from computer rays and your body feels like an angry tree.

A diverse and dynamic show for your ears and your soul. Who needs chicken soup????

Greetings from Hurricaneville, USA! Here is a special episode of How Was Your Week exclusively about Hurricane Sandy, a horrible disaster that has fucked up so much shit.

So you know: Julie walked over the Brooklyn Bridge, past makeshift soup lines and through apocalyptic Chinatown, and up ten flights of stairs, just to retrieve podcasting equipment. This doesn't make her a hero! It makes her a PODCASTER. Hooray for this. Give to the Red Cross. ANYWAY.

This show features two guests in physical and emotional proximity to Julie, both of whom speak about the storm at length, and what their experience with Sandy has taught them. First up, CHRIS 'SPOONY' SPOONER is here to talk about volunteering at the Armory, feeding his work fish, naming his machete, experiencing survivor's guilt, catching the most recent episode of Boredwalk Empirezzzz before the lights went out, and how you can help.

Then, JACK FAGAN, who is Julie's boyfriend, talks about the ordeals of the past week, watching Julie inhale ravioli from a can, missing Halloween, enjoying a hot shower, sharing a cab with strangers, being wary of Radio Shack things, drinking earlier than usual, having a fight half an hour into the lights being out, and freaking out over the possibility of having to use a payphone.

Plus: What makes Chris Christie cry consistently, who Roz Chast is and where her legs went, what NOT to post on Facebook during a crisis, why you mustn't go to a second location with a Japanese businessman, and the stealth show tunes that Ben Folds writes. 

A very special episode during a horrible time in NYC history. I hope you love it.
