A Terrific Milestone...For Me To Poop On!

Cast Iron Brains is 100 episodes old this week, and we’re celebrating with an extended rambling on about trains and America’s failing infrastructure before getting to the horrible news of the week, which includes a new party platform from the Texas GOP, the arrest of a dog puppet and insult comic, and plenty of other nonsense. Listen, if you must! 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!
