Listen to EOL Episode 7: Flush with Sporks

Okay, a warning before we start. This episode isn’t like our usual crazy light hearted fun that we have been kind of known for in our short run as your geek stop podcast. In this episode we delve into some heady bits on the topic of Man Vs. Machine and we think you will enjoy the opinions of our 3rd chair, Mr. Damon Rose on these matters. However, as seen in the notes below, that doesn’t mean that we didn’t talk our usual brand of nonsense. We have plenty of that to spare throughout the entire show actually. We just wanted to point out that we really think the topic was cool to discuss and we’d love to have your feedback on our comments in this episode. Enjoy!
