    Feed should be fixed now. iTunes listeners should download via the link above, or refresh their feeds.

    @charlie Well, I didn't want to bore you all with THREE HOURS of a podcast, so I put up just the one. Perhaps in the future I'll offer the full archives, but man. That's a lot of content. I found old episodes from way back in 2003.

    The music really helped with that. It breaks up the monotony of listening to rants from 4 years ago. And since I'm living with my parents, out of school, unable to find a job (and refusing to work at Burger King and the like) I'd've been happy with the 3 hours to kill.

    Also I need to know more about the most gripping part of the 'cast, how was the incident resolved with the teacher? Was he a stubborn bastard when you presented your "evidence"?

    Wow you guys must be really tall! Those books in the background look very tiny in comparison.

    It was fun to listen to another old one! Actually, I listened to it in my car driving into work this morning, and I sometimes listen to regular radio shows in the morning, so this was exactly like that, except the time you guys were giving was about an hour and 3 minutes fast and the weather was for the other side of the country on a random day in April 2004... which felt very odd.

    I remember a long time ago, Grant saying that when he started the show he put up posters with Final Fantasy VI on them. I'd like to hear one of the original radio episodes where you guys talk about FFVI. If I ever heard people talking about FFVI while I was randomly listening to the radio, I would think it was the best thing I ever heard on the radio.
