Matt's Show Notes

Dan Carlin. I highly recommend both of Dan's podcasts, Common Sense and Hardcore History.
Gerald Celente. It's fun (and perhaps scary) to read this close combat expert's predictions of the near future.

Thanks, but it's definitely a team effort, though Matt pulls double duty by editing the segments together and doing the intro and most of the interlude drops.

YES

We all contribute, but all hail Matt as he is the one that receives all the segments, does his own, edits it and mixes it all together into something that can be presented as a podcast! Thank you Matt! I just downloaded it, think this will be a good one.

Thanks, guys. I was actually

Thanks, guys. I was actually going to suggest that Chris host the next episode, if it's okay with him. We should probably share the duties of that, plus I don't want to hog the fun of joking about everyone else's segments.

And the angels sing, "Aaaaa..."

This episode is the best thing to happen to mankind since the invention of the burrito!
All of the segments this month sound freaking fantastic.

Christina's back! I hear about PvsZ *everywhere*, so I can't wait to hear her segment.

It's fun, just wouldn't mind a break from it. Besides, you guys deserve a shot at the helm.

We should all chip in and send Matt to Miami for some rest and relaxation. Chris has an excellent voice and is insightful.
