Episode #255: Try It, You'll Like It

Lots of familiar names in this episode, alongside the typical conglomeration of names that are slightly less familiar, although many are common. Most of the names are easily pronounced. Try reading them out loud -- I doubt that you'll have a hard time sounding them out. Ampersands are also well-represented. If you're a hyphen fan, we have one Stevie Wonder song title that uses six of 'em. Reading is fundamental.
