Episode 10: Octopuses And The Fear They Deserve

Instead, they are horrifying beasts equipped with all manner of deadly features. So today, on this episode, we will go into depth about everything you need to know to survive the upcoming octopus invasion apocalypse, that has a statistically non-zero likelihood of happening at any moment.

Episode 2: Cider
01/03/2018 Duration: 21minIn this episode we all learn an interesting and odd list of things, most of which have at least a passing correlation to cider. Also, unfortunately there are a couple strange audio issues in this episode. Due to my current recording set-up, if it gets taken apart, it is just shy of impossible to get the exact same audio quality. This can be quite jarring, which is why there are a couple strange audio quirks in this episode. The producers are not happy. Song "Rock Thing" created by Creo at creo-music.com.
