Schedule Update!

Small amount of housekeeping.  Next week we are taking a break from the regular, weekly podcast to bring you not two but THREE Special Edition podcasts and an extra special surprise!!

The first will be the Emmys Results show with our thoughts about why our guys never win but should.  This show should arrive early morning Monday August 30th depending on how hard I crack the whip on Johnny Confidence.  With this show I bring some other great news.  We will be announcing a [message redacted] that will bring even more fun and excitement to your regularly scheduled podcast!

Podcasts 2 and 3 are a package deal, broken down into digestible and easily managed tidbits of our coverage and unbridled anticipation of the upcoming Fall Premieres!  The first show will be hopes and analysis of the returning shows, the second an in-depth look at the coming season’s new shows.  They will be posting on Friday, September 3rd and Sunday, September 5th respectively in place of our weekly podcast since Johnny Confidence and I will be attending Penny Arcade Expo!
