A bit of old to ring in the new year as we recover from our wild night of staying inside and away from everyone. 

Turns out our Christmas special wasn't really focused on Christmas this year, so enjoy a very un-Christmasy Christmas episode. 

This week Shrink & Rage have our last normal episode of year... or at least what passes for normal in this podcast feed.
