Hey it's Peter so a while ago two of Wait Waits producers Mike Danforth and Ian Chilog told me they wanted to add something new to our relationship a new podcast they would be doing on the side called How to do Everything. It wasn't an easy adjustment for me to make.

I thought we were all committed to mono podcastee, but one of the rules of healthy relationships

is you have to let your partners move on and grow.

So, sure enough, they created how to do everything, a younger, more exciting podcast in which they could express themselves in ways that just seemed

closed to them in the podcast that I thought had been enough for all of us.

Well, it ran its course as these things tend to do with young people and we had settled back into

our happy routine when they told me recently well they had been thinking about

podcasting again but this time they wanted to make it part of one big blended family.

So how to do everything is back and new episodes will be in your Waitway podcast feed

for the near future and you can follow their own feed and submit questions for them to answer

at how-to at nPR.org. It won't last forever. These things never do, but in the meantime,

enjoy the first episode of how to do everything.

It's hard to clean it to-to-to.

We've all been there.

You can't just throw it in the washing machine.

Eddie Grunty is costume production supervisor for the Dutch National Ballet. Eddie you've got a tip for us.

Two two obviously you can't like you said you can't throw it in a washing machine.

A lot of what we do during a run is we'll at the end of the performance we spray it with vodka and that's basically to kill the bacteria the alcohol kills the bacteria in the costume.

You use vodka? Yeah it's an it's an old trick actually that comes from Russia,

funnily enough. They used it in all their companies and it's been taken over

basically through theatres all over the world.

So all you do is you take a spray bottle to each two to how many squirts, like three or four?
