Episode 019: Alison Becker and Glynn Washington

==Description==
Glynn Washington is the host and creator of the public radio show Snap Judgment. Fun fact: He actually got his radio show started by winning a radio contest. Snap Judgment is all about “storytelling with a beat,” and, with a little help from Helen Hong, Glynn will explain why.
Alison Becker is an actress who’s perhaps best known for playing Shauna Malwae-Tweep on Parks and Recreation (people still recognize her for it to this day). She’s also the star of the Max Fun Podcast Bubble.
In this episode, we’ll learn about Glynn’s attitude towards producing quality stories, why puppets are a perfect way to combat social justice issues and Alison’s amazing moment where she made out with Jon Bon Jovi, one of her musical heroes.

===What's the Difference?===
====Lake vs Pond====
According The Biology of Lakes and Ponds by Christer Brönmark and Lars-Anders Hansson, there are 3 questions that are generally used to distinguish lakes from ponds; does light reach the bottom of the deepest point of the water body? Does the water body only get small waves? Is the water body relatively uniform in temperature? If the answer to all of these questions is yes, the water body is a pond, if the answer is no, the water body is a lake. 
Ponds are generally shallow enough that there is no aphotic zone, there are only small waves, and it is relatively uniform in temperature 
Lakes generally have an aphotic zone, can get larger waves, and can have an uneven temperature distribution. 
====Arrowsmith vs Fletcher====
According to the Craft Guild of Traditional Bowyers and Fletchers, a fletcher makes almost all of the parts of an arrow and assembles it. This includes selecting and shaping the right timber, making the nock, the footing, and pile, as well as the fletching, which are the feathers that help the arrow fly true. An arrowsmith forges arrowheads, usually from iron or steel. There are also bowyers who make bows and people who make strings for bows called stringers or string fellows.
