The Periodic Table

by Element Opie Productions - Mark Cockrell & Shawn Kible

Each week we gather a few hosts from the Element Opie network, and give them free rein to discuss whatever they want. From religion to politics to sports to pop-culture, and everywhere in between- nothing is off limits. We can't tell you what will happen around the Periodic Table, but we're pretty sure it'll be fun...or maybe like a train wreck you don't want to watch, but can't take your eyes off.
