The Fribrary Podcast

This episode was recorded as we head full-steam into Festivus.  There are Wheat Wars, Flat Earth Rappers, and a Well-Marbled Josh.  There’s a fair amount of yelling, which can only mean that a good time was (probably) had by all.  As always, if you like what you hear, give us a rating on iTunes.  Find the referenced homework homework here:

The moon is rising in Xena which can only mean one thing – it’s Thanksbrary!  On this episode we’ll cover EMPs and birthday card record retention.  Special guests Scabs and Nicole.  Check us out at Fribrary.com and on twitter @Fribrary.

This episode is plagued with power failures.  The batteries in the recorder failed, as did the backups.  But we do still have time to get into pessimism, crypto-currencies, and broken car buying processes.

This episode has special guest Danielle and terrible homework.  We almost make a new friend, but we already have a Steve.  Kevin (aka Cassandra) tries coffee for the first time in 30 years and it goes exactly as you’d expect.  It’s his cross to bear as a supertaster.

This week is a flurry of great lines that almost became the the title.  From “Don’t read the comments” to “All my jeans are skinny” to “I’m a mass of character flaws given human form”, it’s a cornucopia of potential titles.  We’ll talk climate change, come up with a pilot tentatively titled “Stalk Options”, and hit a new segment called “Above Average/Below Average”.

The homework referenced in this episode can be found here:

This episode has recurring character Eva, evil toast, and an origin story of Clinky and Drinky.  We’ll do homework and come up with a pilot for “The Passenger Seat”.  Josh tries to spread the word about how awesome Unleash the Archers is.  Things will wrap up with Kevin trying really hard to get through his awkward story.
