Cobras, Dragons, Mermaids, and Rings: The One Where I Use A Podcasting Console

I always wanted to have my own talk show. This is the closest I can get to such an idea right now. The fact that it's plausible with modern technology blows my mind. The Rode Procaster II is awesome. You should totes get it. You listening, Rode? Your product is awesome. If you wanna talk business, my office is always open. And by office, I mean this box fort covered in LED lights. Fancy. In this episode, I rant about LOTS OF STUFF! Cobra Kai? You got it! House of the Dragon? Absolutely? Rings of Power? Where'd you get a gun...? Little Mermaid?!!? I'm serious, why do have a gu-EVERYTHING IS FINE NERD MAN TALKS ABOUT NERD THINGS STICK AROUND AND ENJOY SHOW.

The Attention Deficit Dilema

In this episode, celebrate JoFran's return to the podcast stratosphere as he reflects on the ups and downs of life, the grieving process, and dealing with personal loss. Also, Sandman was pretty awesome.
