Come on, y’all. The teeming millions really want to know. Is it Dexter? I’m betting on Dexter. My alternate guess is a random wino on the alleyway near the Tribune building. ---

I’ll see what I can find out. On a similar note, any of you drink the sponsor beer? Just wondering. ---

When I lived in Colorado, it was one of my favorites! I was very surprised and pleased to hear them sponsoring you. Now that I live in California, I don’t see it any more. If I saw it, I’d drink it, though! ---

[Straight Dope now available on podcast](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=540228) In 2009, Ed posted: > [@](#): > > Cecil’s latest can now be heard on a podcast. In the iTunes Store, search for “Straight Dope,” then click on the “subscribe” button next to the Straight Dope logo. The column will be sent to you automatically each week, masterfully voice by Stan Jastrzebski. It’s been three years, so maybe someone else does it now. -D/a ---
