One of my favorite shows Whatever Martha, with my favorite radio hosts of Whatever With Alexis And Jennifer's hosts have done an interview for the L.A. Times, here is a little highlight.

A few years ago Martha Stewart had a late-night brainstorm -- this time for a new TV show, not a craft project or home repair adventure. She explained to New York magazine last year: "I got the idea from 'Mystery Science Theater,' the way the little pop-up figures were watching the horror movies and making comments. I’ve always loved those guys. I was thinking about my show and the old segments, and I thought, 'How can we get a different audience to watch and still learn?'

"And I thought that’s how we could do it, if Alexis and Jennifer would agree to be the pop-up figures."

Was your reaction to the first season what you expected?

Stewart: I think it was better than we expected or than what we could ask for.

Hutt: We didn't know how people would react to it at all. We just kind of went into it. We didn't know if people would like it or how it was going to come out. We weren't scripted or anything; we just watched the episodes and commented. When people did like it, we were like, "Oh, wow, yay!"

How do you think a new (non-Sirius) audience got drawn into it?

Hutt: What's surprising is that people who watch the TV show say, "We love your banter. We love the relationship that you and Alexis have. You are so like my friend and me. You are so different and so honest with one another." So they get the kind of thing we do on the radio show, but it's almost the radio show lite. The radio show is not about poking fun at Martha; it's about each other, life, you name it, and because it's on satellite there's no regulation, so we get much racier and much more open on the radio show because we're allowed to be. When we did it on the TV show, it was all edited out.

How is this season different from the previous season?

Stewart: We added more cooking and crafts to every episode.

Hutt: This year we have a kitchen.

I was looking at some of the previews on FLN. Martha's going to be on the show this season?

Stewart: She is on an episode.

Hutt: Just one.
What kind of feedback did you get from the show's editors?

Alexis: They'd always come out and tell me to be happier, but since I can't, I didn't know where to go with that.

Hutt: Eight shows into the season they said, "Put your legs down. You look better with your legs off the table." I was like, "You waited eight shows to tell me that? Eight shows?"

What were some of your favorite moments of your co-host from last season?

Stewart: I thought the ribbon dancing was pretty good and there was the juggling. She's so multitalented. She can sign the alphabet as well, who knew.

Hutt: Yeah, I can. I really liked how Alexis' competitive nature shined through when we were doing the shell picture frames and she got so enraged that mine was actually coming out good that she wrecked it.

Stewart: Well, yours is supposed to be bad, that's the whole point.

Hutt: This season in the clip we have on the website, Alexis is singing. I really like that.

Stewart: I only sing one word.

Hutt: It's still a song!

What do you get out of being on FLN?

Stewart: They're very kind to us and a shockingly large number of people watch it.

Hutt: Before we were involved with them, we really didn't know about FLN either, and it's amazing how many people watch that network, and they are so nice. They're great.

Stewart: And surprisingly tolerant of us and all of our dirtiness.

Jennifer: Oh yeah! It's shocking.

Is there anything in the works for additional projects?

Stewart: We're working on a book -- that'll be fun. We're always trying to do something else.
