     Every week I send my Minutia Men Co-Host Dave Stern a list from our audio archives for this week's Studio Walls feature. These are the possibilities for this week. Which one will he choose?

*August 29 would have been Michael Jackson's birthday. We had record producer Bill Schnee on the show, and he told us his story about dealing with Michael when Jackson was only 10 years old. (Listen to entire interview here)

*August 29 is best selling author James Finn Garner's birthday. He was kind enough to appear as a guest on our show several years ago. (Listen to that here)
