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 7
In this episode Kurt and Malcolm offer our expert takes on:
- How a woman in a committed relationship (and a small child) can talk her boyfriend into pursuing polyamory
- The best way for dealing with a Facebook friend who copycats to such an extent we fear she’s looking to commit murder and take her friend’s place
- A writer with chronic pain who has to field critical comments from strangers over handicapped parking and unsympathetic friends
- A woman whose long ago ex-boyfriend and current friend insists on describing her as his ex to his new lady friends
- A writer who is just so damned good at helping others that she’s become the go-to source of advice for far too many friends
