Talkingship Redux: Recent Episodes
None
Back in 2008, two lifelong friends decided the world needed to hear how stupid they were, and the best way to do it was to start recording a podcast. The Talkingship podcast was born as an excuse for Jitterbug and Nerves to get together once a week and drink beer, talk nonsense, and make each other laugh. Over the course of nearly a decade, the show soldiered on, creating a massive library of shows that at one point were lost in time. That changes today!
Talkingship set up a Patreon account to allow fans to help pay for the release of the original TS shows that weren't available on the regular feed. This podcast feed will start from episode one, and keep moving through all of the TS shows from over the past decade.
