Thoughts and Rants in Jogging Pants

Cathartic brain emptying for me.  Potentially humorous and thought provoking for you.  At least that's the optomistic version of how this could all go.  I once wrote a blog of the same name, and am trading the pen for the mic.  Gen X wisdom dispensed via fun stories, odd opinions, and absurd rants.  I use bad language sometimes.  Dropping new episodes on the 1st and 15th (I hope.... oh god, I've said it now, I better do it).  Canadian made :)

ABOUT THIS SHOW

Cathartic brain emptying for me.  Potentially humorous and thought provoking for you.  At least that's the optomistic version of how this could all go.  I once wrote a blog of the same name, and am trading the pen for the mic.  Gen X wisdom dispensed via fun stories, odd opinions, and absurd rants.  I use bad language sometimes.  Dropping new episodes on the 1st and 15th (I hope.... oh god, I've said it now, I better do it).  Canadian made :)
