It’s a free-wheeling fourth episode
for Ka-Pow: The Pop Cultured Podcast.
Jordan, Cliff and Seth cover all the usual news from the worlds of
comics, movies and television, while a loopy, sleep-deprived Michael does his
best to keep focused and not run us too far off the rails. After he finally gets calmed down (and puts
his shirt back on), the team has just enough time to end the show with a
spotlight on two fun tabletop games.
