We have a special episode today for Halloween! In this episode, the goblins talk about their love of Halloween, how it inspires them, and read two special stories for you, spooky co-eds.

This week, the goblins kick back and talk about zombies. Love 'em or hate 'em, they're a formidable force in pop culture.

PLM and Carson blurb all over this episode about blurbs. How do you ask for a blurb? Who blurbs who? Are blurbs actually useless marketing tools? Are they a torment on both blurber and blurbee?

We know one thing for sure: blurb.
