Episode 006: A live reading at Czar Bar in Kansas City, MO
I’ve noticed that this podcast is slowly becoming less a weekly self-discussion platform for me to ramble on about crap and more a database where I can store audio snippets of my various non-self-discussion rambling ons about crap. You’re welcome.
With that in mind, this “episode” is a recording of a live reading at Czar Bar in Kansas City, MO on August 7th. The event was a huge load of fun.
