Episode 052: Jamie Loftus & Craig Shoemaker

==Description==
Click your heels three times and remember there’s no place like home: “Go Fact Yourself” is officially the greatest trivia show on ice!
Jamie Loftus is a comedian and a host of “The Bechdel Cast” podcast. Her show is all about analyzing film from a feminist perspective. One movie that holds up surprisingly well under such scrutiny? Alien! She’ll explain. Plus, she’ll discuss what gives her a special edge in this trivia contest: her certification as a Mensa Genius. Jamie’s upcoming appearances can be found on her website.
Jamie will compete against her fellow comedian and feminist Craig Shoemaker. He describes his work as “comedy for the soul.” That’s not just a pun on his name; He’ll tell us about how his work has actually helped people in real life. He also has a number of personal aspirations as well, including to sing Les Miserables on Broadway. You can hear Craig on his podcast “Can I Help You?”
The topics discussed include classic movies, ice rinks and the power of love.

===What's the Difference?===
Music History 
====(The Grammy Award for) Song of the Year vs Record of the Year ====
*from listener John Lipitz (spelling???) of Baltimore, MD
Song of the Year should really be called Song Writer of the Year, because the award goes to the person/people who composed the music and lyrics. Record of the Year goes to the performers, producers, and engineers who made the recording. Often the performer on the winning recording has a songwriting credit, so they give speeches in both categories. 
====Historic vs Historical ====
Anything that happened or was made in the past is historical. But if that thing that happened or was made in the past is of great importance, it becomes historic. Things can be both historical and historic (ex. signing of the declaration of independence)
