Alright folks... here's the deal. This audio sucks. I mean it super sucks. Things went wrong with the recording of the live episode and what you are essentially listening to is an iPhone that was slammed down on a table near the stage. It's not great, but it's all we have.  We thought for a while about just not releasing this but at the end of the day we figured....screw it. Robin was so great to talk to and even if they can barely understand it sometimes it's a conversation worth sharing.  Our weekend in Bangor was an incredible event that we will never forget. Thank you to everyone who came! Thank you to The Bangor Public Library, The Bangor Grand Hotel, SK Tours, the Oriental Jade, Sharon Kitchens, Robin Furth, and of course Jody and Samantha who made this entire thing happen! We'll be releasing an hour-long chat about this experience a bit later and then be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week.  Until then... Long days and pleasant nights!

Hey folks! Matt and I are on our way to Bangor right now and as such we couldn't prep, record, and edit an episode this week.
