Quality Control Purposes
Advice columns like Dear Abby, Ann Landers, Miss Manners and Savage Love remain wildly popular with newspaper readers. But the advice doled out by these self-styled experts is not always worth the paper its printed on. So join hosts Malcolm Fleschner and Kurt Wolfrum as we conduct a little hilarity-filled quality control on a different assortment of advice columns each week and judge for yourself who gives better responses: us, them or maybe even you!

Episode 5
In this episode Malcolm and Kurt do their best to unpack letters to Ann Landers, Carolyn Hax, Dear Prudence and more, offering our pointed critiques of the following:
- “A Hairy Situation in the East” who doesn’t know how to communicate to his loving girlfriend that he’s freaked out that she doesn’t shave her legs or armpits“
- Halloween for the 99 Percent” who asks Prudence’s advice for discouraging low-income trick-or-treaters from invading their posh neighborhood on Halloween
- An ungrateful girlfriend who wants to know if Carolyn Hax thinks she’s being petty by complaining about her boyfriend’s self-serving birthday and Christmas gifts
And so much more!
