A Podcast is only as good as its Lost Episode.
The Homies screwed up the recording and have to double back and re-talk about the middle section of the book after they've already finished it. So they studied up, lit a kettle of coffee and had a clean, sober, concise discussion to replace the one they'd lost.
KIDDING! This one's a mess and we forget to talk about Chapter 3. It's also a pretty good time.
Roland's hot on the trail of The Man in Black when he's confronted with every Gunslinger's weakness - a tween boy he can force to listen to boring stories of his youth. It's the Baby Boom writ large this week on Roland With My Homies!
Please read The Oracle and the Mountains for next time if you haven't already. We're drinking COFFEE in the next one!
