Playwright KEN NARASAKI ("The Mikado Project," "Innocent When You Dream"), who does double duty as an actor, explains how a Japanese-American dude such as himself ends up on German cop show. Never one to shy away from controversy, Prince then prods Ken to weigh in on the notorious "Asian Week" column/racist diatribe that's been in the news lately and the explosive issues behind the seemingly innocuous film, "Red Doors." Prince and Ken are later joined by playwright DORIS BAIZLEY ("The Mikado Project," "Sex Sting"), who thinks that feminism never went out of fashion. Prince also makes a public plea to "The People’s Court," gets Ken to perform the Hiro monologue from "The Theory of Everything," and spins the hot sexy tunes of JOE SIBOL ("Hot Sexy Girls," "Jacket That You Never Wore").

Guests: JOSH RANDALL, UC RIVERSIDE; Music: BRANDON PATTON

JOSH RANDALL is best known for his role as Dr. Mike Burton in the beloved TV series, "Ed," which ran for four seasons on NBC. However, Prince will always remember Josh from their college days, when Josh would sleep in parked cars, eat eggs like an ox, and spew curse words because college-age Prince delighted in plays that were filthy. (Nothing much has changed.) After chatting up a storm with Josh, Prince then goes on to offend a room full of UC Riverside students, goes behind the scenes of his punk rock theater event, "Emophiliacs," and spins the latest tunes of BRANDON PATTON, with exclusive tracks ("Ten Candles," "Lower Your Bar") from his upcoming new album.

Playwright RICKERBY HINDS ("One Size Fits All," "Blackballin'") is a pioneer in hip-hop theater and manages to school Prince on the joys of "gettin' buck" and the elegance of "pimp cups." They also wax philosophical on Hanson, the Dixie Chicks, and the sweet sound of gospel music. Prince also checks his e-mails and finds the common thread among all Asian mothers; reads a fictional letter to a college admissions office; and spins the freak-out tunes of MYKE WEISKOPF ("Ascension Island," "The Final Dream").
