What It Is About the Thing. We have a pretty specific set of stuff we really like to participate in, and if you’ve listened for the last 219 hours, then you’re crystal clear on what those things are. To be clear, other stuff might be good too. The list of stuff isn’t meant to be […]

It’s Raining Bowling Balls. Life, like the weather, is pretty unpredictable. And sometimes, no matter how ready you are, the feces strikes the fan. In those moments, what are you gonna do? No. Literally, what are you gonna do? Music pick of the week: Robot – The Olympians – In Search of a Revival Stevil […]
