Sadly, due to circumstances beyond our control, we are unable to record a new episode this week. So, instead, we're resharing Episode 200, Our Favorite Haunt Weekly Episodes.This was meant to be the episode we were going to play off of this week, but it's a great episode that points to many other great episodes and is well worth either a first or second listen.Previous Show Notes: It is our 200th episode and, to celebrate, we're going through our entire library and highlighting the best of the best. That's right, we both blindly picked 12 episodes we thought worthy of mentioning. Of the 12 we each picked, we had four we agreed on leaving us with 16 episodes we each wanted to highlight and 4 that we both agreed on. This gives us our top 20 episodes (with some extreme caveats).So sit back and relax but pay attention. There is a quiz at the end and, if you're one of the first to answer the questions correctly, you could win some neat (but admittedly small) prizes.This Week's Episode Includes:IntroductionConference RemindersA Quick Update on Our HauntThe Rules of the Selection16 Episodes One of Us Nominated4 We Agreed OnContest DetailsConclusionsAll in all, this is one episode you do NOT want to miss, especially if you like prizes!
