Everything's 5x4
by Steve
Formerly a more random podcast (topics in episodes 1-19 were partly decided by a random number generator), now the 5 topics I talk about for 4 minutes apiece every week are (in alphabetical order): baseball, beer, books, soccer and TV. Keep everything 5x4 and enjoy (or don't).
