Show notes

Many years ago we had these things called newspapers. Some of them contained daily comic strips. On Sundays the BIG version of the newspaper would arrive complete with an entire section of comics, some of them in full color! On the final episode of season one, we discuss our favorite titles and characters from these comic strips and of course hear from our listeners!

Putters up! It’s time to play some mini golf! This classic, casual recreational competition is great for just about everybody. Aside from attempting to putt your ball into the whole in as few strokes as possible, mini golf is fun due to the wide range of theming and variety from course to course, and hole to hole.

On this podcast we talk about the putt putt holes we would like to see in the world. Also our recommendations, a game about “mini” things and band updates galore!

42: Cake or Pie Jul 18, 2022

Show notes

Sometimes a question is more than a question. Sometimes a question can provide insight into one’s philosophy on life. Today’s podcast features one of those questions: Cake or Pie?

Cake is the dynamic overwhelming favorite. Meanwhile Pie is the scrappy underdog, past its prime as our nation’s preferred sweet dish. Two desserts enter. Only one will leave.
