Show notes

This week we read How To Tame A Beast In Seven Days by Kerrelyn Sparks and talked about '90s nose jobs, dog shifters and Clayton tries to pronounce "colloquialism".

Also, Clayton recorded in a shed outside (long story, never mentioned on the pod) so occasionally there are birds noises. You aren't hearing things!
