Issue No.061 - Live from Penguicon, its Friday Night!
Apr 301:36:02Tap to summarizeIn this very special issue we are once again live from my absolute favorite convention Penguicon. This year OND was specifically invited back to bring our shenanigans by Con Chair Heather Williams so it was only fitting that we brought her to the microphone for the show. We were also joined by two very special Guests of Honor, acclaimed author of the Dresden Files and the Codex Alera Jim Butcher and author of the Honor Harrington series and other numerous works David Weber. We pour one out for meme legend Chuck Norris, share stories about things we found in old book stores, and talk about being nerd parents.

Recorded on the holiday formally known as Easter Rojen and I pour one out for a lengthy role call of celebrities, catch up on the cavalcade of things we missed, more stories of "It Came from John's Poor Impulse Control", and we discuss why we are both currently in love with physical media.
