Chelsea Shriver, wearing a ballcap and eyeglasses, lays in a field of flowers.

What’s your name and where do you live? 
Chelsea Shriver. Vancouver, BC.

When did you start listening to TBTL? How did you find the show?
I think I was one of the many tens who started listening after Luke's stint guest hosting "Wait Wait" in maybe 2010. So it's been...a while.

How would your friends describe you?
I hope they would describe me as funny and caring. I am certain they would (charitably) describe me as "a bit of an over-thinker."

What was your favorite cereal when you were a kid? Is it still your fav? 
We weren't a sugar cereal house, so I mostly got Grape-Nuts. But sometimes nostalgia would drive my step mom to buy Frosted Flakes, and they were like manna from heaven. These days I'm a fan of Kashi Maple Waffle Crisp, but more as a dessert.

What food do you love to eat the most of?
Peanut butter. I don't think a day goes by that I don't eat it as part of at least one meal.

What’s the best or worst nickname you ever had?
My name doesn't really lend itself to nicknames, but two of my past nicknames have been "Goose" and "Staff". Long stories...

If you could play one song on TBTL, what would it be?
Very tough question! Either Once Upon a Lucid Dream (In Afrikaans) by Kishi Bashi or Avocado, Baby by Los Campesinos!.

What’s a special skill that you have?
Not really a skill, but I'm very easily entertained, so I never really get bored.

What’s a skill you *wish* you had?
Just about anything other than the above.

If you were driving down the street and you saw Luke and Andrew on the sidewalk, what would you yell at them as you drove past?
There would probably just be a lot of sputtering and frantic waving.
