Episode 50!! We can hardly believe it. Thanks a million to our listeners for encouraging us for a whole year!


This week we welcome a very special guest, the multitalented author, game designer, and filmmaker extraordinaire, Max Barry. Our topic is useless and crappy computer peripherals, but we had such a fun and easygoing conversation that we took our sweet time getting there.


The song at the end of this week’s show is Ancient Era 4 by Jeffrey Briggs and Christopher Tin from the game Civilization 4.
