-
Bonus Episode 1
After we finished recording Episode 6 we stuck around talking about what it's like to record a podcast. Since Hussein is too busy being irresponsible on a jetski working very hard out of the office and thus unable to record an episode today, we thought we'd let you in on one of our...
-
Episode 8: Homecoming Coalition Leader
