This is a little episode we call "Selling Out." See it's the penultimate episode of Radio Happy Hour, and we tried to make the show keep working by selling tons of ads for the show, but that didn't really...well...you'll see. We didn't have room for a murder mystery because we sold the whole show to advertisers. The real losers were our guests, who didn't get to be accused of murder at all. Nonetheless we convinced Sun Airway, Hank & Cupcakes, and Jared Logan to sell out with us. And our pals John & Molly Knefel came along to do a little selling out of their own.

It’s taken a little while, we know. But we’re finally delivering the podcast version of the final episode of Radio Happy Hour. The truth is we’re just finally, two months later, recovering from the massive hangover from that show. It was great, and it was truly fantastic to see so many friends at the show to celebrate the show with us, and it warmed our nether-regions that so many past guests decided to come back and join us for the final shin dig. The guests in this episode include Twin Sister, Mike Doughty, Franz Nicolay, Matt Pond PA, John & Molly Knefel, Arthur Phillips, Dave Hill, Max Silvestri, Gabe Liedman, Arden Myrin, Murray Hill, William Ocean, and more. 

Radio Happy Hour Episode #20 "Who Killed Sam, God Dammit? The Final Episode"

Radio Happy Hour is a monthly radio comedy with guest stars and a murder mystery every time. Past guests have included The Hold Steady, Norah Jones, Andrew WK, Jolie Holland, Tunde Adebimpe of TV on the Radio, Michael Showalter, Chuck Klosterman, and Kumail Nanjiani
