There's Always a Foghorn / Singing You to Schoolwreck
CIB is here near week’s end with an episode we weren’t planning on making but ended up recording anyway because of the insatiable ambition to podcast that we have deep in our CONTENT-making marrow. We’re yapping about the week in sports-viewing, bad NPR interviews, Billy Corgan podcasts of silly intent and dubious merit, bad Twitter reactions, and a whole host of other things that we’re not actually going to talk about this week, we swear. 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!
