This week on the R&B retro show of choice for those fighting their conservatorships: clean cats, leaving men, suffocating winters, pied pipers, cautionary earthquakes, Brazilian fusion, full-contact Scrabble, walking away, and the end of time. Also: programming announcements about shows that are coming up in the future that are in no way intended to take your mind off the one you're listening to now. Also: rheumatism. Literally.
