Besides Taye Diggs' exit from All American (which is huge show changing news!), The CW's been quiet when it comes to news that Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens care about. So they've got a list they'd like the Mole to take back to Brad. It's for Brad's eyes only, Mole!

Also on deck: A review of The Flash 9x02 which left Sabrina and Michael with mixed feelings. As well as yet another amazing episode of Nancy Drew to discuss.

In their special end of the year pod, The CW Spiral plays a game Reed Gaudens devised (inspired by one played on the Jenna & Julien podcast).
