Word of our podcast revival must be spreading like an Alaskan oil fire because we've just booked our first celebrity guest...and it's a biggie in my book.

Late Show writer and author Bill Scheft will join me and TV Squad bossman Joel Keller on next week's APB Podcast. We'll talk about his work on David Letterman's late night show and the changing landscape of late night TV as well as his newest novel, Everything Hurts.

If you've got questions for our guest (and I'm sure you do), leave them in the comments section below and we'll ask them to our gracious guest when we record the podcast at 10 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, Oct. 27. I'm sure you're all dying to know the answer to one big question, so don't waste your time by posting it below: what the hell does Bill have against 49ers coach Mike Singletary?!?

Podcast time again! In this episode, Jason Hughes and Michael Pascua join me to talk about TV's doings this week:

• The whole Balloon Boy fiasco and why the 24-hour news networks were so fixated on it,
• Reality news from Michael, including a flu scare on Dancing With The Stars,
• A discussion on why The Simpsons, especially the "Treehouse of Horror" series, is in decline,
• Another dip into our Ask TV Squad mailbag,
• Our picks for the week, and much more.

Run time is 46:02.

As part of our ongoing efforts to infiltrate every one of your senses, we've decided to bring back the APB Podcast, last seen in various forms around two years ago. In this first podcast, Jason Hughes, Kona Gallagher and myself discuss the following topics:

• The Letterman scandal
• A minute (if that) about Jon and Kate
• How the fall season's going so far, including why Dollhouse's ratings are so bad,
• Ask TV Squad, where we answer a question submitted to Isabelle's column,
• Picks for the upcoming week.

Running time is 42:33.
