For our anniversary show I sat down again via ZOOM with our very first quest Dean Bridgeman.
We recorded the show back on May 20th. I had planned on going back and adding an intro before posting but with the murder of George Floyd, I just wasn't in the mood to mess with it. I'm posting it now without an intro, the only thing added is the bumper music.
