It’s Full of Tangents

Welcome to the very special, very crazy episode 42 of Universal Geek. Wow, did we go overtime, did we drink a lot of yummy delicious Big Hugs from Half Acre Brewery, and did we have a great time doing both.  We attempted to Live stream the podcast but ran into a few problems — don’t even know if the sound was going out over the broadcast.   If at all possible, we will be streaming live every Sunday night for those of you who can’t wait.

Additionally, we are going to attempt releasing the podcasts on Monday morning instead of Tuesday morning, which means some late nights for Sean, but that is okay, he claims sleep is for the weak.

We didn’t leave the TV on, so the faint voices you hear in the background are actually a UStream feed that started to play when we attempted to live stream the podcast. We hope it isn’t too distracting. We failed to notice it was playing for most of the podcast.
