We’re Back for 2020

Welcome everyone!

We’ve got some (hopefully) exciting news for you all. Darryl and Dave are back for 2020. After a lot of contemplation, they boys have figured out where their “podcast fatigue” came from. Summating a lot here, but the podcast became too much of a time and money sync to continue for what we were getting out it.

But, over the last year, we’ve had so many of you reach out and talk to us about what the show meant to you, how it helped you when you were down, or just that you needed to know if Darryl throws it in the hoop…so we’re willing to give it another go for 2020.

Like most things in life there’s a catch. We’ve started a Patreon. We’re not trying to live off this patreon. All we want is to cover hosting costs and hire an editor so Dave doesn’t have to do it every week. Any money above and beyond that will be dumped back into community events (PAX meet-ups, etc.).

We’ll start 2020 with a normal show, and (bespoke) show notes as you’re accustomed to, but for now please enjoy the first, and last, episode of 2019.

ANOTHA ONE

They boys talk about the last week, just like a regular show. But, boy, a lot has happened.

Update on Show and PAX West 2018!

Hey all, It’s been 3 months since the last show and I’ve got some good news and bad news.

Good news: We recorded a show Sunday night.

Bad news: We suffered an audio engineering issue. Pray to whatever gods you believe in that ichiban friend of the show can work their magic again or this one might be lost to time.

Good news: There will be a meet-up.

Bad news: It’s not the blowout that overlaps with Ethiopian Hip-Hop Night we had last year. After the Let’s Rank It! panel I’m going to head down the Sheraton for some hangs and drinks prior to the League of Heels show.

Good news: After our recording break, I think we are ready to get on some kind of schedule again post-PAX. Details to follow once we discuss post PAX.

Bad news: Still no Prius sex.

First of all, wow, what a delay in-between shows huh? It’s probably best to assume we have just been insanely busy, and not think too much about this worrying trend of growing gaps between shows.

There’s a little something in here for everyone. Vidja games. Travel updates. BBQ reviews. Dave complaining about having too much wine. The list goes on and on.
