Cast Iron Brains - A Podcast with Bob and Abe Brain Iron

Here is a podcast! It’s a podcast like many others, in that it is a lot of blathering and aimlessness and general silliness. But it is also a podcast unique in the known podcasting universe, in that the thoughts and words expressed here have never been expressed in this precise way at any point up until this very moment. Who could dare not listen?! Listen, as you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it on our Substack, leave a comment on the show’s page on our website, or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
