Fixing News and Sports (with Rozara Sanders)
July 12, 2019 00:46 - 58 minutes - 67 MBToday, a special episode of BN(AS). 1st, a story of a father searching for mother. 2nd, a superhero mom with a daughter unaware of the extent of her mother’s powers. Next, the topic of cats in microphones inspires a midwestern cat laboratory story. The episode makes an immediate pivot into Irish accents, and most likely, the episode devolves from there. But that’s the point, frankly, the deconstruction is as important as the building—anarchy reigns, burn it all down. An old man can’t remembe...

Video Games and Space Mining
May 26, 2019 12:45 - 45 minutes - 52 MBAlex and Jack have their most intimate episode yet.
