Our 101nst Episode Celebration! Aug 30, 2017

Show notes

This week we celebrate our 101nst episode! That's right, the 101nst. Having made over 100 episodes, we wanted to take some time to reflect on where we've been, what we've learned, and how our airhorn noises have improved (tremendously). Join us as we interview some very special guests (their names rhyme with Shmeben and Shmacy), and share with you some of our favorite moments from the show. And we didn't have space to share all the fun stuff we wanted to share with you in this week's episode, so make sure you listen to next week's show for some bonus 101nst celebration conversations.
