I hope everyone had a great year and hope that you all have a fantastic 2015. Enjoy this year in review. Going on 300 episodes and 9 years of Worlds of Wayne. Thanks for joining me on this awesome podcast journey.  Cheers,  Wayne

Naughty, irreverent, sexy, dorky, and hilarious, Caitlin Little was born to sing Karaoke, host fake award shows, and live the dream of the Omaha Famous. Back on the show once again, we pour ourselves more than a few cocktails and talk about all things Caitlin. Topics (to the best of my memory) include hosting award shows like the Instagrammys, swilling cheap drinks and singing karaoke at Shenanigans, mall boyfriends, cats, and a few life lessons, like if plan A fails, always have a plan B.  By the end of this interview you can tell how much fun we had... Friend her on facebook and send her some love. 

In this episode I am once again joined by my good friend Michael Campbell. He's a great singer/songwriter who has a sharp talent for the written word. He works his words into songs that can be witty, heartfelt, or just plain fun to sing along to. He has a new album coming out soon, so I thought it would be nice to have him in for a preemptive strike before the big media push in a couple months. Laurie joins us for the interview, a few cocktails, and a live performance from Michael.  Michael Campbell Essays  -- Photo by Laura Campbell
