This week work schedules get in the way for Rage so we're running a Franken Episode. I still hadn't deleted any uncompressed audio from last week, so you get what may be the freshest franken show yet. Maybe that should have been the title!? Oh well, enjoy!

This week it's my fault we didn't record. It's spring time in the south, and I had a sinus infection. I took some time off and got some meds, so fingers crossed to wellness and recordings next week. We have many topics we'd like to discuss!

This week Rage had a weird work schedule so we were unable to record this week. I pulled franken content from the newest and oldest episode on the backlog, so we have some things from last week, and things from January. Hope you enjoy, and we'll see you next week!
