Episode 74 (Kinda) - Protest Announcement

In light of the protests against police brutality going on as I type this, we will not be having a regular episode this week as, when Mike and I recorded, it just sounded like two more white guys sounding off on what's going on in the world today.  We wanted to offer something more substantial.  Instead of a regular episode, we're providing links to charities supporting the protest moving that is currently changing the face of our country before out very eyes.  We'll return to regular programming next week.
