NOTE: There was some serious audio issues with this episode (particularly with transferring the mp3 files) that have since been fixed in future episodes. I will release a "remastered" version of this episode later on. Don't let this deter you from enjoying the rest of the series!
ADDITIONAL NOTE: This inaugral episode refers to the podcast as The Couch Potato. This was changed by Episode 2 to distance itself from several other podcasts with the same or similar names.
