Episode 68: The Alcoholic.

from Vertigo Voices · host Colby Park

We tried something a bit different for today's episode. While reviewing The Alcoholic by Jonathan Ames and Dean Haspiel, we decided to get into the spirit of things with some alcoholic beverages. Listen as we discuss this serious topic with meandering conversation and slurred words. And the theme song for today's episode is Alcohol by Barenaked Ladies. I forgot to credit that while recording. I blame the alcohol. Enjoy!
