This week CIB is yapping about the awful and now annual social media discourse about Columbus Day, passing stern judgment about who is the BAD ART FRIEND, and being largely unimpressed with a couple of HBO Max documentaries released in the last couple of weeks. Listen! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it on Facebook or Twitter, leave a comment on the show’s page on our website, or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
