The Ascetic in the Punchbowl

CIB returns from our traditional July 4th break to discuss vacations inside the panopticon, being the judgmental turd in the bachelor party punchbowl, and the latest round of Supreme Court decisions. It’s an all-around good time, so, 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!
