Comments

[John Byrne]

Anyone else think it was incredibly ironic that Sister Baker's Skype connection started to fuzz out just as she was bemoaning people's lack of communication skills? Or is that too meta?

Thoroughly enjoyed this. When is the next one?

[Admin]

It wasn't meta enough for me to catch it and leave it in during editing.

Also, I'm trying to make it a "Wednesday is Alumnicast-day" type of a thing. But, we're definitely not done playing around with the recording times. There are also the specials which can be recorded on the fly as opportunities come up.
