Exciting news! Our first episode to crack 100 downloads is our episode on "Modern Times" with @ptklein.com! Check out the episode, and stick around to the end to hear what we have planned for the future with Paul! Also, this episode title is A+ imo. shows.acast.com/the-history-...

Anyone have a favorite X-Files episode to request? Making a list of episodes to cover on the show for an upcoming mini-series, so far I have outlines for "Unrequited" and "Fresh Bones". No to "Home", it's too scary. 😨
