September 01, 2020 10:00 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MBThe internet is a rough place. Sometimes so rough Cole can't even access it.

July 14, 2020 10:00 - 2 hours - 111 MBThe first half of the show is pretty one-sided, if we're being honest.

April 28, 2020 10:00 - 2 hours - 116 MBI know I keep saying that this is when it's starting to get real, but library patrons... its really starting to get real now. All of the chess pieces are moving independently and reaching the same conclusions and honestly it's a little creepy in that Tim Zahn kinda way, but that's why we love it. Also... RIP Ferrier. Also.

February 25, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 79.5 MBThe summary of this week's non-book summary discussion could basically be summed up as "we talked about Dave Filoni way more than we should've."
