Best of Cal Wilson
01:58:18|Wax Quizzical will return in 2026, and we can't wait to share new eps with you. But while we were on our break we lost one of our dearest friends, Cal Wilson. And so before we put out any of those new episodes we first wanted to go back and re-listen to all of Cal's best moments. It just so happens that she had a lot of best moments - so please enjoy 2 hours of our friend of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy, Cal Wilson.
