Episode 159 – The Surprisingly Successful Voyage!

PodcastONA

As was made famous on an episode of The Simpsons many years ago, it was the best of times and the BLURST of times. In the case of the former, it's the smashing success of One Piece on Netflix - and yes, it IS good - but in the latter, it's a crash-and-burn of a supposed upstart company with too much ambition and not enough capital. Such is life, in a way. As for what it all means for this show, it doesn't mean a whole lot, but this IS the shortest show we've done in quite a while as not a lot has been going on lately. The end of summer means things are slowing down a bit, but we'll be back next time for a meatier show.
