In this episode of The Edgeheads, The Paula Takeover, Gregg is sick. The cast has been “excused.” And Paula—normally stuck behind the booth—takes full control of the show.

In this completely unauthorized episode, Paula curates her own lineup: pop-punk rage from the Emotional Support Band, a bluesy traffic meltdown, a re-visit to the greeting cards from Nicky the Fish, and one deeply unfortunate podcast celebration cake. With no one left to stop her, Paula delivers judgment, music, and passive-aggressive commentary at full volume.
