Best quote ever:
If the Rhoomba starts acting up you pick it up and smack it around.:)
Also does anyone remember the name of the group from that one caller?

[Freddy Schurr]

Is there a recording of the show?

They podcast Science Friday. I am not sure when they usually post the audio but it seems to me that it is around 6pm eastern time, give or take. It is at npr.org. I think they also store podcasts at the iTunes store for Talk of the Nation.

Doesn't every home arm it's Rhoomba's?
I don't know that I'd try to smack around an armed Rhoomba...
