One of Swords Podcast 153: Outtakes of 2012




One Of Swords show

Summary: This is the one you've been waiting for -- the end-of-the-year episode where we pull out all the tangents, rambling stories, side conversations, mistakes, and other crap that wasn't good enough to make it into the show for the previous 51 weeks. It's a chronological list of things that happened behind the scenes all year long. Kat, Hugh, and I talk about accepting listener gifts, brominated vegetable oil, bad movies about royalty, launching books, bad Saturday morning cartoons, Girl Scout cookies, karaoke duets, a lack of bathroom privacy, Canadian goofballs at PAX, "shutting down the tunnel," pirate hats, Hugh's strange and unfortunately graphic "shared suffering" relationship with his wife, mini-strokes, Tetris marathons, an interview with Hugh's daughter, the alternate opening to episode 137 when we thought we had just lost an entire show and started to re-record the whole thing but it turns out we didn't lose anything after all and you heard the original recording anyway, and Dan's incredible struggle to maintain Zen calm on a daily basis. Thank you for your support all year long -- and enjoy your holidays!
