Otto Vondrak who's father's name is Ed but not the Ed you're thinking of, was our guest for the month of March. He tries his hand at the Kelly Questions on the last day of the month and does quite well for a beginner. Play along and see how well you score.

The main thing we learned about Otto Vondrak during these two episodes is that his father's name is indeed Ed but he's not the Ed you're thinking of. It's all very confusing but well worth the trouble. So sit back, relax and discover why Otto is the guest so nice we had him twice.

Well it's a little late but it's still fresh because I've kept it in the fridge. So join us as our intrepid explorers wander into the dark crevices of the viewer mail bag to see what our viewers have to say. Whatever the Podfather, Mailroom boy and Steve talk about you'll eventually realize the time you've spent listening to viewer mail can never be recovered.

This month we talk with Otto Vondrak best known as an associate editor of Rail & Railroad magazine. Otto joined Carstens in 2011 after several years of freelance work for them. He's a graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology and a founding member of the RIT model railroad club.

After an hour or so of talking with us, Otto politely asked if could leave but we refused and duck taped him to the nearest support column in the studio. Eventually he stopped screaming and we explained we merely wanted him to do a second hour with us before we'd let him go. Once he agreed not to call the police we recorded part two of Otto's interview to be presented later this month. 

Otto has since been seen wandering the streets of Rochester mumbling to himself.
