Craig and I are taking the week off. I have a mild chest cold. For the first time in my life, I coughed into a handkerchief and checked it for blood. No worries — unlike a character in a period movie, I’ll make it through the third act.
Meanwhile, Craig is busy with holiday-related travel — and he’s got [really fancy luggage](http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/45796131/ns/today-entertainment/#.Tvn6CZi9tNQ).
If you’re missing your podcast fix, I strongly recommend checking out one of these fine programs:
* [Nerdist Writer’s Panel](http://www.nerdist.com/podcast/nerdist-writers-panel/)
* Erin Gibson and Bryan Safi’s [Throwing Shade](http://www.throwingshade.com/)
* All of Dan Benjamin’s [5by5 shows](http://5by5.tv/)
We’ll be back next week with way too much to talk about. Happy New Year!
