Rish Outfield and Big Anklevich's side project. Apparently they don't get enough time to jabber on their regular episodes of The Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine, so they started up this extra bit of fun. If you enjoy listening to their post-story chatter on their regular show, then you'll probably still enjoy what they have to say on this show as well.
