    The Idiom Game

    In this finale episode of Season 1, Ben and Brian play a round of the Idiom game.  About halfway through Brian notes, "I guess 15 minutes into the episode is a good time to add a scoring system." He's right. If you have any feedback from your own rounds of the idiom game, please let us know!  This is the last episode of season 1, but keep an eye on your podcast feeds fortnightly, as we have plans to return soon!  Our music is by Evan Gardner.

    Super Powered Pedants

    In this episode from Season 1, Brian and Ben talk about super powers. Genuine highlights include destroyed shoes and a sincere request for fan art of a government employee.  One minor note: Ben chose not to rerecord the ending, where Brian says "Join us next week for our season finale...", that episode will actually be up in two weeks.  Our music is by Evan Gardner.
