Episode 71 - LaserDisc (w/ Proxy)
It's time for some obscure technology, and Proxy's here to delivery the information straight (or as straight as she can muster) to your earspace! This time, she's bringing up the surprisingly revolutionary format of LaserDisc -- from its origins, to its innovations, to its ultimate failure.

Episode 70: Cargo Shorts (w/ Keeble)

Episode 69: Cincinnati's Failed Subway System w/ Hyperlink
This week on Commune College, Hyperlink recounts the history of Cincinnati's failed subway system, whose derelict tunnels still sit unused beneath the city to this very day. Also, literally everyone they mention in the story has a completely silly name.
