This episode is a little different. Due to a recording error on my part, I had to go back in and re-record a great deal of the podcast. What results is a truncated episode of the show, featuring Kole and Dennis.
I will not make this recording mistake again.

And now, a brief reprieve from the podcast onslaught.
It’s my policy to keep this page relatively cruft-free. Personal things go on my Twitter, or on my Tumblr. This space is for news relevant to the show, and any review/critical work I write to supplement the show.
If you want a window into the Sturm und Drang that is my search for a career, or my thoughts on the latest Youtube video sensation, check out my newly minted Tumblr.
If you want to hear glib remarks on sandwiches I’ve eaten, or shits I’ve taken, boost my follower account on Twitter.
