Asexuality is a relatively new and generally obscure sexual orientation. It is often misunderstood or not acknowledged as valid by others when people share that part of themselves. This can be frustrating, hurtful, or isolating when people with this orientation don’t find support or acceptance from those around them.

In this cast Jim (aka “Why are you still recording these things?”) verbally meanders around life in Boulder, thoughts on investing, life as a functional asexual, sucking at talking to women, culinary adventures and tribulations, overdoing it at thrift stores, the past / future of digital music services, and a bunch of miscellaneous junk that served as a good three-hour excuse to procrastinate doing any real work.
