"Kitchen Islands" w/ Anna Seregina

This week, illustrious guest Anna Seregina joins Sam in the LA studio while George is isolated in chilly New York City. If only the whole squad could gather around a beautifully constructed kitchen island. But wait... Do kitchen islands really build community or do they merely reinforce traditional family values? Does the impulse to fill up a kitchen with more surfaces stem from a fear of open space (aka freedom)? Can other options for home-based communal gathering like breakfast nooks or the famed conversation pit provide any respite from the fascism of suburban interior design? If only it were that simple. NEW YORK: See George do an hour of standup at the Bell House on Friday Feb. 2!
