Summary: Today is Sade's birthday, and what better way to celebrate than with a brand new episode of "Banter with Ben and Lisa." This week, Ben Mandelker (bsideblog.com) and Lisa Timmons talk about the "American Idol" premiere and its new panel of judges. Then, hot off the presses, it's the Oscar nominations! Finally things wrap up with further discussion of Grand Theft Auto V, to which Lisa has become a recent convert. Her antics in the world of Los Santos are both deeply disturbing and utterly charming. As usual, there's plenty of other pop culture discussion to be had, and Ben continues to share his progress in learning the German language. Fun times all around. Come listen!
