The Secret of Our Success (Lori. It's always Lori.)

After a few minutes enduring the constructive criticism of someone far more knowledgeable in the podcast arts than we, CIB returns to something like our regular format this week with a dip into the WGAS NewsBag, some thoughts on living in Our Bogus Future, and an extended movie review conversation at the end. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it on our Substack, leave a comment on the show’s page on our website, or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
