Cast Iron Brains - A Podcast with Bob and Abe episodes
- Podcasting is All Natural, Baby (CIB #290)
Cast Iron Brains returns to your podcast feeds with some complaining about how uninteresting it is to talk about the things we’re talking about. Feeling like hitting that play button yet?! We’re also answering important questions, including but not limited to “Why jump in the enclosure of a Siberian tiger,” and “Are wolves better than humans?” Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it by joining the conversation on our Substack or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
