Episode 246, "Drunk Trek" Jul 06, 2016

Show notes

In this episode, we play Episode 1 of "Drunk Trek", a fun episode recorded with Mike and Kacey Coughlin (from The Infinite Loop Show) who watched "Who Mourns for Adonais" while drinking stuff that wasn't green. The episode was recorded in April, 2015. The show never took off, so with the July 4 holiday putting a kink in our regular schedule, we present this. See you next week!
