This episode is kind of what started this whole thing here when someone interviewed me. I figured to start this series I would post this as the first one so you can get to know me as the host before getting into the rest of the interviews I will be posting. Maybe it will be fun, but who can tell.
Finally, a podcast with some dummy rambling about nothing and interviews with people more interesting.
