    #234 The Lost Episode

    The Lost Episode has been found! Way back in June 2023, as a fundraiser for our beloved local radio station, we did a special episode of 10 Bestest. It was our first in over a year and the only new episode we have done since. We aren't saying it is our last episode, but we still are unsure when our next one will be. The good news is this one is almost 55 minutes long as we catch up and share not ten but twelve cool sheets! We cover what was once groundbreaking AI, our favorite books, TV shows, games, humans, food, and so much more! Please enjoy the lost episode!
