[Ch F] “A Fond Farewell to F” (Channel F Grand Finale)

Join us for one last look through the complete history of Nerd Noise Radio - Channel F, in a format that lands somewhere in-between The Golden Episode and a one-player Channel 2, with the posture of getting to play historian to our own works - telling the story of each F-isode in series history, in order.
