153. Let's Taco 'Bout Some Kind of Wonderful featuring Shane Gerlach

Better late than never, right? In a delayed release due to some exhaustion, this excellent episode FINALLY sees the light of day. SiouxperCon founding board member, Shane Gerlach, joins the show to discuss the ‘con life, the ups and downs of his 9 to 5, and his joy in watching a community thrive. We also discuss his son’s battle with cancer and his love of pro wrestling before diving into this week’s featured movie, the John Hughes produced, Some Kind of Wonderful.
